Although I did not know Jean extremely well; we were in the same school for 3 years together we became acquaintances and I will say over the years no matter when I saw her, or where I saw her, she always made me feel like I was a long lost best friend.
My deepest sympathy to Danny, Kelly,and family. RIP Jean

I have known Jean since the summer of 1966...the summer before my freshman year at Belmont. She was one of those people that you instinctively love. Jean always greeted you with a smile and a hug! Her laugh was contagious! I looked forward to seeing her each year at the Belmont Bash. I was truly blessed to have known her. My love and prayers go out to Dan and Kelly and all Jean´s family and friends. She will be forever missed.

Dan my heart goes out to you. Jean was such kind and beautiful soul. I loved it when I saw you two as happiness and laughs were to follow. I can´t count all the times we laughed at anywhere I met you two. Prayers for you and your daughter.

Don and I were blessed recently to have spent an entire evening with Jean & Dan along with Dave & Phyllis Snell, Ron & Mary Klosterman. Jean was ailing yet warmed our hearts with her broad smile and funny recollections of years gone by. Jean, I and MANY other Belmont 69ers grew up on Woodbine. Who could forget the symphony of car horn toots as fellow Bison saluted each other´s homes. The neighborhood hasn´t changed much although the horns have subsided as time waits for no one. We will all be together again one day.
Love you and truly miss you Jean.

I first met Jean the summer before we went to Belmont. We lived on opposite sides of Belmont Park and enjoyed getting groups of us together. She always had a smile and her "can't forget laugh". She will be missed.
