Mr. Borzaro and Family,
I was saddened to learn of Jean's passing. While I didn't get to know her well, I can tell she was a great wife, mom, and grandmother. I saw that from her husband, son's, daughter's, and grandchildren. I hoped she would get well and I could talk to her before she left R. I. Hospital. I took care of Jean while she was at R.I. Hosp. You lost a wonderful person, she is in my prayers.

Dear Anthony and Family,
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I will truly miss her and I will keep her in my prayers. The Holy Apostles Dinner Dance will never be the same for me without a silent auction item that Jean created with all her heart. She will always be remembered as one of the most talented, generous and kind woman I have been blessed to know.
With our deepest heartfelt sympathy,
Michael, Lisa, Mike and Dave St. Pierre
