Brad and family, Your Great Aunt Mamie, Great Uncle Wallace and I were very saddened to hear of Cousin Jeanie's passing. Mom and Jeanie would have long conversations on the phone they would joke with each other and offered support to each other when your mom fell and broke her arm about the same time my mom had fallen and broke her knee cap. Mom enjoyed those phone conversations. I enjoyed the family reunions when your mom came, she was a lot of fun to be around. We wish we could be there for the service but the trip would be too hard for your Aunt Mamie and Uncle Wallace. You have our deepest sympathy and you & your family are in our prayers.

Jean was my friend. We spent many hours over breakfast and coffee just chattering like children. We laughed often over some of our youthful mischief! Even after she went Arlington we had long phone visits whenever she could. Jean was a good friend. My condolences to her family for their loss.
