Jean sold Avon to me for several years. I enjoyed visiting with her. She was a very nice person who always showed me update pictures of her Grandchildren and family. She loved all so much. From time to time I would be in her home and did meet her children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers to all of you. Joan Moddrell
