To Dear Eddie, children, family members and friends:

I tremendously admired Jean for she
was an admirable woman, kind, caring, loyal and charitable.

To know her was to love her for she was genuinely real and such a good listener, a gentle woman with a "good sense of humor."

After her mother passed away nearly fourteen years ago, Jean became the "Matriarch of the family", now that she is with her mother, that title and the respect it engendered, is now retired.

Eddie and his children are an extraordinarily close family, they will always be there for one another.

This is the legacy which Jean leaves them, that "bond of love" will never diminish, it will always live on in their hearts and memories.

Jean also has two brothers whom she leaves behind, she was always a wonderful, caring sister and a good sister-in-law.

May God bless and keep you, Eddie, your children and your entire family and, one day, give you solace at the tremendous loss and sorrow that all
of you have sustained.

I will always pray for each and every one of you, in Jean's memory.

I am comforted that dear Jean has been reunited with her parents, her twin sister, her Aunt Kay and many family members whom she never knew in this life.

What joy and celebration in heaven!

Elissa, sister-in-law of Paul Sullivan
