Aunt Jean,
Sorry you had to leave, but I hope you are happier. I'll always remember spending time with you and Uncle Bob, while he sat at the kitchen table you gave me tons of Life Savers. No kid could ever have had a better time with his Aunt than that. I always enjoyed visiting with you over the years when our paths crossed out here or back there. Bye for now.

Aunt Jean
You and Uncle Bob were always like second parents to me. I'll never forget all the visits we had in Arizona and at the lake. The stories that you and my parents told will always be fresh in my mind. I'm very sorry that the last few years got away from me and I wasn't able to visit with you and Bob like we used to. I'm sure you're in a much better place now and are telling those same stories again with my dad. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love always and say hey to dad for me.
Your Brat Child.
Todd

When people pass away do they really leave? No, they may be gone from our sight but never out of our hearts or minds. Jean was just the type of person that will always be remembered. The fun we had together, the laughs, the crazy things we did. I never had a sister to share those times with until Jean became my sister. I'll never forget the time in the summer of 2004 going down the highway, Bob and Tom in the front seat. We were listening to a sad song on the radio and we both started to cry. We squeezed each others hand and looked at our Guys in the front seat and thought we were the luckiest two women in the world. I will miss Jean terribly but will never forget her.
say hi to Tom when you see him,
thanks for being you
Love, Shirley

Aunt Jean and Uncle Bob are very special to me. When we lived in Michigan and visited my Grandmas in Indiana, our first stop was always Aunt Jeans. They were always happy to see us, and sad to see us leave. Then when we moved to Arizona, and you would visit, we were always happy when you would spend time with us and sad to see you leave. You had stories to tell us about when you all were younger. You were a great second Mom to all your siblings and I know they all loved you for that, especially my Dad, he loved you both very much. I will really miss you Aunt Jean, even though I know you are in a much better place. I'm sure my Dad and Uncle Dean were very glad to see you again. Give them a big hug for me and Reyna. We love you!!!

Uncle Bob- you are in our thoughts and prayers and remember we are ony an airplane ride away!! We love you!!!
Susie, David and Reyna
