As Charlotte's surrogate mother for so many years in Sacramento my special memories of Jean were the many Mothers' Days we spent with my son Jeff when she came to visit and our many phone conversations we had - I will always rember her laughter and Jean - I will be here for Char.

I will never forget Mrs. Dinsmore and how she touched my life from the very moment I met her. She was a strong and wonderful person. God bless you, Mary, Paul, PA and Jason, you all were very dear to her -- I know this because she told me so many times how lucky she was to have you all as family.

I take pride in the fact, that I had the honor to care for Jean in her last days, I wonder what it would have been like to know her years befor she got sick. One things for sure she was always smiling,had something funny to say and loved her family VERY much.
Thank you Mary and Paul for welcoming me in your home and your family. God Bless you and your children all the days of your life.

Jean was like a second mother to me and I will miss her terribly. She was a very special person. God bless all who know her and her family especially.

Jean was a wonderful woman. She was warm, friendly, caring and feisty-with a great sense of humor. We were thrilled to have spent time with her when she visited Charlotte. We will all miss her very much and are the better for knowing her.

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. God gave you this very special person and even extended her time with you but he must have needed a special Angel in Heaven. May God bless you with comfort, wonderful memories and the knowledge that she has been warmly welcomed Home.
