My heart goes out to all of you, especially Kathryn. I remember happy times playing together when Grandma Grady lived across the street in Ovid. Your mother was a kind woman.

I know today would have been Jeanne's birthday as we shared it together while working at Roehlen. Jeanne was someone who always made you feel good no matter how down you were. She was one of the sweetest persons I have had the pleasure of working with and will be missed by all that knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I am a neighbor, who use to live across the street from Jean Rivers..#72 Martinot Ave. Jean was a very nice woman, always friendly and she helped me out, one evening when I locked myself out of my house. She invited me in and we talked till someone came to open the door for me. I will never forget her kindness. My sincere condolences go to her family.
