Dear Robert and family,
I taught with Jean at the Ward School for many years and have fond memories of our times there and at your home in Newton. The Christmas tree was Jean's delight, and we had many a grand party around it.
She always spoke with great love for her sons, her grand daughters, and her husband, and was particularly proud of Robert's dahlias. Our memories of Jean will be filled always with smiles and affection.
Margaret and Niles Sutphin
