To the Duncan Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Jean's passing. I will always remember her bright smile and cheery hello whenever I saw her. I know she will be missed terribly and my thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
She was a wonderful person.

Bill: I know quite well how you are suffering from the loss of Jean. With my knowledge of the two of you I can, with great sincerity, say that you and Jean were in my prayers for a long, long time. Rarely have I met two people who exhibited such great love for each other and for all the people that you two met each day. Jean influenced so many people by her cheerful happy face, her genuine concern for others, and her total happiness with her life. She has been a great example of true love partly because that was her nature but also because she had you as her greatest companion.
She will always be remembered by how she lived but not how she died.
A truly remarkable lady!

Dear Botkin/Duncan Family,
I work for her doctor. I will miss and never forget Jean. She was the most loving, graceful, and caring person I have ever known. I will miss her terribly. Bill you will be in my prayers. We now have a new angel looking over our shoulders.

Bill,
I am so sorry to hear of Jean's passing.
You probably don't remember me,
though I have never forgotten you.
We worked together in Sales at 575 Shrews. Ave.
I was a service order writer in the KS Unit.
You were there for me when my Dad died in 1965.
You drove me to his doctor's office in Little Silver,
as I was too upset to safely do so myself.
You now have my sincerest sympathy.
Take comfort in knowing that Jean is now pain free,
and her spirit will always live with those she loved.
May the love of family comfort you at this time,
and may fond memories be with you forever.
