In loving memory of a wonderful person.
Aunt Jean was always a loving lady with a big heart. I am very thankful to have had her in my life. I remember tons of great times as we would go to her house to visit. She always welcomed out family with open arms and we would always have a great time visiting. Aunt Jean my you RIP as you have earned that right. Your Family (which is very Big) and I will love you and miss you always.

Our family lost a truly vibrant soul. She was a funny and loving woman. And never without a smile. There was never a dull moment if Aunt Jean was around. Whether the pestering of Uncle Jeff or enjoying a few drinks, it was gonna be a good time. We love and miss you.
