Due to the separation of distance, we did not get to know our niece,Jean, as well as we would have liked. But from the comments of loved ones we see that she was a loving, giving person as are many in our family.
Earth's loss is heaven's gain. Condolences to all.

I met Jean in 2005 when I coached Taylor at John Paul II. Instantly, I connected with Jean. She always offered to help me in any way she could. She kept the scorebook and was always informing of the number of pitches, positioning of fielders etc..she was basically my unofficial asst. coach. She was no doubt what I call a normal Mom!! I always had her and Mike's support. I will miss her emails updating what is going on with Taylor, Mike, and just baseball talk. She truly was a very trusting, loving, dependable and upfront person. I will miss her and know that she will be watching over her family and all her friends!

Mike and Taylor, Jean was the only employee I considered smarter than I am. Ted and I considered her our friend and we only ask that you keep in touch so we can see Taylor play ball and help in any way.

Gentle,soft spoken,dependable, dignified,sweet,beautiful. She was born to be an angel but wish it didn't have to be now. As humans go Jean was perfection.Who didn't love her. This is a hard one.

I remeber Jean as a woman devoted to her family who also understood the importance of community service. As fellow leader of Cub Scout Pack 1105 she always made the tasks eaiser and fun.
