Jean Blanchette had one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. She was a classy lady who always had the right thing to say and always made you feel good. I'll forever remember her laugh and how infectious it was! You'll be sorely missed, Nana Jean! The entire Blanchette family is in thoughts and prayers.

To the entire Blanchette family...my condolences on the loss of your Mom. She was such a warm and kind person and had a terrific sense of humor. Jean and my Mom were such Great friends and I also knew her well when I was growing up in Belmont. Whenever I saw her around town, I would call out "Hi Mrs. B." and I would always get a big smile and a wave. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Kevin.
