Not sure what to say?

I send my thoughts and prayers to Jean’s family. I was a classmate of Jean’s in our grammar school, St. Stanislaus Kostka in Sayreville, NJ. We had many great memories of those 8 years followed by 4 up years of high school at Sayreville High School class of 1957.After getting married and having three children, I lost contact with Jean and met her occasionally at events and reunions.

She was a wonderful person filed with much energy and love of family. After reading her...

This is the eulogy I prepared for Jean's Memorial Mass which had to be postponed due to our extreme winter weather. I will surely miss my friend Jean.

I am Jean’s sister-in-law, and have known her for 55 years. However, I truly came to know her over the last 13, when Jean and my brother Donald moved from New Jersey to Hillsville.
Jean was a positive influence in the lives of her family and friends, and I can personally speak to the influence Jean had on me.
We were...

Jean was a classmate and we graduated from Sayreville High in 1957. She was a bridesmaid at my wedding in 1959. We shared a lot of good memories. My prayers are with her.

So many good memories and fun times with all my cousins from the as long as I can remember, Jeannie was always the funny one that would give you a run for your money. She will be greatly missed, but I’m sure everyone up there will be happy to see her again and she’s gonna shake things up there in heaven. her and my Mother were the spirited members of the family, my mom, was Helen Constance Stipulkoski Gerstner so if you feel things being shaken up, it’s my mom and her niece again.
I...

Thinking of you Aunt Jean, and I'm wishing you peace and comfort. May you R. I. P. ❤

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Condolences to Jean's family. May God Bless and comfort all during this most difficult time.

Jean was such a wonderful person. I met her at our Parkinson's Support Group were she called and reminded everyone of us to not to forget the meeting each month and to make sure we had signed in when we got there. She took her job serious because it was very important it got done. I loved Jean and will really miss her. I'm so sorry for the family's loss and I send my deepest condolences and prayers.
