Sweet family, great Godly woman as I remember her from 38 years ago. Only wish I could have seen her and told her the same in person. Condolences to you, Robin, and your sister. A friend from the distant past, Mark Bokhart.

Jean you have been more like a sister, than a sister-in-law. I never remember when you were not in my life. I will miss you very much.

We always looked forward to seeing you on Friday mornings at the beauty shop. We knew you would walk in, tap our toes with your cane and smile. Won't be the same without you, but what a pleasure to know such a beautiful lady. Betty Cooley and Carol Merkle

You, my dear friend, have been like family. The years we worked together you taught me so much about living with pride and dignity. You always had a smile for me, and taught me that no one wants to see a sad face so I'd better just pull myself together and get on with it. I wanted to be like you. Your kindness and grace filled the room. And now you are gone. We were supposed to have lunch together! I missed my chance, a regret I will carry for a long time. Oh how I miss you.

It was an honor to do your hair, Jean, for these past 10 years. Your smile always brightened my day. You will be sadly missed on Friday mornings at Transitions, my dear. May you now rest in peace with Glenn. I love you.
