I'm so sorry grandmother I was not there in your last days but time did not go by that I did not think of you! I will always miss you!
Forever your first great grandson!

I have many pleasant memories of my cousin Jean. Although we lived many miles away -- Pennsylvania and Georgia -- she occasionally came to visit. I remember one time in particular when she was at the dating age and came to Atlanta. Some of my mother's friends had kids her age and arranged a group date including Jean. Jean dressed up for this date, but then they went out to Stone Mountain. Jean climbed Stone Mountain -- in high heels!

Jean was very close to my mother, almost like a second daughter.

I will remember her joy in dancing and her love of children, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

My sympathy goes out to all her family and many friends.
