Her boots were made for walking. Unfortunately they took her away from us too soon. Rest in peace Jean. Condolences to her family and too Ray & Paul (her family too).

Jean will be remembered to me as a person who took the time and talked outside my place on 3rd St. as she was tooling around town (Gurneville) She treated me great and loved her presence as hostess at the Triple R.
