I first met Ms. Jean when she and her family moved next door to my family in 1978(Spartan Village). I spent almost everyday next door with Theresa, Nut (Fred), Fat Boy (Frank), Gloria (Glo), and Debra Ann. She treated me as one of her own. She was like a mother to me in so many special ways. I always felt so comfortable with Ms. Jean, so at home just like part of her family. She was so easy to talk to and who gives you advice wheather you liked it or not. I just wanted the family to know how much I appreciate her and all we shared together.

Love Always,

Donyel & Family
