Jean and I were co-workers for many years at the Probation Department...I was saddened to hear about her death. Jean was a little spark plug...so full of life and energy!!. Every year we could hardly wait for the great costumes she would come up with...and, what a figure she had!
My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Grandma, even though you were only my step-grandma I feel that you were my real grandma. I clearly remember my very first Halloween costume because I remember you let me go through your old ones, which were stored in a box and let me choose which one I wanted to borrow. I chose the little black cat with a cute little tail. I wore it all day to school and even after for the neighborhood trick or treating. I remember the boys were pulling on my tail :). I also want to share that I still have the little pendant you gave me for Christmas 7 years ago at Peggy's house, well I can only assume that it was 7 years ago, it could have been longer but it has been that long. I kept it because I saw it as a symbol of "Hope and Prosper" "circle of life" Don't ask me why. I just saw it that way as a matter of fact, I still do. Before I say good bye, I want to thank you for allowing me to be in your life and I'm very thankful that I was there. Good Bye Grandma Jean!

Grandma I will miss you so much, you were not only my grandma but my best friend too. Leonardo DiVinci said "Life well spent is long", I guess you proved him right.

Well Mother, it's been a great journey. You're with Father and all your old friends now. Get out the cards and enjoy a game of bridge. We're going to miss you here. Goodbye and God Bless you.
Dan, your oldest.

To Sally, Dan, Tim and Families,
We would like to express our deepest sympathy to all of you in the loss of your dear mother (and grandmother). She was a kind person, who was dedicated to her family, friends and church. I have fond memories from the mid-1950's when I was invited to join the Sturges family two summers to go camping at Camp Richardson at Lake Tahoe. Special memories of spending time with the Sturges family!
You will be in our thoughts and prayers as your mourn your loss.
