Munner, how I loved you!! You always remembered how I didnt like grapefruit, and I got fresh oranges instead. I loved the sleepovers, and my dolls. Each one makes me remember all of your trips, and how you loved to bring one home just for me. And listening to the stories about each one. Thank you for loving me, and being who you were. You will be missed.

The last day I was with you I painted your nails pink, and brushed your hair. Holding your hand while you slept.
I will never forget you painting my nails pink and brushing my hair then holding my hand util I fell asleep.

Aunt Jean's passing closes the book on the generation of our parents, Aunt and Uncles...
Aunt Jean was a very special person to me. From the time I was a little boy, moving from Los Angeles to SLC in the early 1940's, through my latter life, Aunt Jean always made me feel welcome in her home.
I know that everyone who every knew Aunt Jean will feel great sorrow with her passing.

You taught me to eat molasses with a spoon, grapefruit with salt, to shape my nails, work hard, love my grandchildren, cook, shop, stick up for myself. You will always be with me, I picture your face in the window behind the locked door at Mountain Ridge, smiling and giving me a sweet loving wave, good-bye. I love you. Forever and Ever
