I would be honored to share my memories of your mom,grandmother and great-grandmother by saying she was a smiling gifted woman who shared her talents as a musician and a love of sailing with people she knew in Elk Rapids, Mi. I was fortunate to also be a part of her life by attending some of the symphony programs where she played her cello and partnering with her in playing some challenging bridge games. She and her husband will also be remembered by the Elk Rapids Harbor Association as boating members. My condolences!

The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra members will always remember Jean as a spirited, and dedicated cellist. She played with us from 2005 until 2012 and she retired only when it was too difficult to get back and forth to rehearsals. Her playing never slipped - and we miss her. Robert Pattengale, Co-Artistic Director, Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra.

Jerry,
Karen and I were sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. I will always remember when several of us at work went over to hear your mother play her cello. You had a wonderful mother and she was loved by many.
Karen and I recently returned from Israel on a wheel chair distribution in Jericho. We live in St. Marys, GA.
and periodically get back to Michigan to visit our daughter who owns the Knitters Nook in Williamston.
We certainly hope to see you around Michigan sometime. Congrats on your retirement a little late.

Very nice tribute to your mom. We are happy that she is now at peace, her suffering is over. She is definitely in a much better place. Know that you have many friends who are there to support you and the whole family during this time of transition. Your mom will always be fondly remembered.
God Bless all of you.

Jerry&Barbara - We are sad for your loss but understand Jean's nursing home situation was not optimal for her. She was one unique lady in so many ways and she will be missed. I always enjoyed having a glass of wine and talking current affairs with her in Elk Rapids.
