I loved my Aunt Jean very much. My fondest memory was a wonderful road trip to Florida in 1961, when she just added me into her "daughter mix". I will so miss visiting her when I come for my yearly trip to Buffalo, but I'm very glad to have seen her this past June and spent time with her and my cousins. She was a truly dear and wonderful lady.

Jean, what can I say...you made my time at Maplewood worthwhile. Always ready with a hug, a smile and a good dose of advice, I will miss you terribly. Each time "Pominville-Waltz" tucks one in the net, I'll know that it's you, popping by to say hello. Thank you for being the person you were. To the family, thank you for letting us share Jean and borrowing her as an 'adopted' grandma. You are tremendous and oh, how she loved you. My heart is with you all.

I will miss Jean. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word to everyone she met. She is now in a better place. God bless her and her family.
