I haven't seen Jean in many years, but a book full of memories. My decesed husband, Ronnie, and myself bowled with Jean & Doyle many years. Many years of bowling, dancing & fun with all & both sides of the families. I know she's going to be missed by her children, Grandchildren, and greats. Sandy (Wade) Wickham

No matter what age you are it is so hard to lose a parent. Aunt Jean was always fun and had lots of stories about her and Dad to tell. Greatest Sympathy
