Ronnie and I are so very sorry to hear about the loss of Jean. Jean was such a very kind lady with a soft voice and a great smile and laugh. When you were cutting up with the customers she just laughed softy at you. The market is not the same as when you and Jean were there.. May God grant you peace.
