What memories I have of Jean. She always wanted to take me home with her when we saw her. She was one of the most lovely and poised women I have ever met and I am pleased to call her my cousin. My mom and dad and the whole family thought the world of your mother and wife. Dad (Virtus) and her were very close in years past and we will miss her greatly. Which I know for sure you will too. What a wonderful family that her and John raised. I loved her so much. Thanks for the great memories Jean.
