It's so hard to find the right words to express what you mean to me. I will miss your laughter and the fun times we spent together. I admired you in so many ways. You were so good for my brother, a loving wife, mother, and nana. Now, you will be a guardian angel for all who love you. God bless you and all our family,especially Don, Donald and his family, and of course, our Nicholas and his family. Love you all.

Jean was full of love, life and humor. She was the perfect partner for our brother. Her light was bright here and will be even brighter in God's presence. Even in our pain, we rejoice in knowing she is Home. May God comfort family and friends with her memory always.

Don,
Sorry to learn of the passing of your wife. Its now been 29 years since that early spring day in 1986 when we first met and conversed about Champion's proposed family plan. The many interviews we attended together to build the family and then the many hours spent in the conference room getting to know each other. Now were retired, the family is gone, and all is history. But we still have those glorious memories of the field trips and the games between Penn State and Alabama. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.

It's so hard losing such a Wonderful Sister-In-Law like you Jean. All our phone conversations we had everyday from 9-10 when you lived in Piqua, the secrets we told each other and the time we spent together will never be forgotten. You were definitely more like a Sister than a Sister-In-Law and as hard as it was losing you I'm so thankful that you are no longer in pain and you are finally at peace. Until we see each other again Jean, God Bless!!!

Aunt Jean, words can't describe all the love you shared with everyone, the letters we shared, the phone conversations, and you reminding me of how much of a spoiled brat I was, heaven is blessed to have you and I know Kathy was excited to see you, sending much love to you in heaven and see you later when it's my time to visit heaven, I love and miss you.

I will always remember how good you were to me and everyone else that came into your life. You are a very special lady and Heaven is so lucky to have you with them now! Please keep an eye out on Uncle Don cause he has never been without you and it may take him time to adjust so just whisper in his ear or tap him on the shoulder and let him know you are still with him in spirit! Love & will miss you always!!!

Nana,

Love always,
