To the family of Jean ...this is your cousin Mary Brochu Markert from Jacksonville Florida. Your Grandmother Grace was my mother May O'Connor's sister. I am so sorry for your loss...our cousin Cathy Welch saw the notice in a New Jersey newspaper and sent me an email. I was the flower girl when your grandparents married and I last saw Jean at a family reunion in the early 1990's. My daughters Mary and Cathy also send their condolences...Mary (ramyram@aolcom)
