Mark and Carol, I am so sorry for your loss. You have been so blessed to have Aunt Jean as your mother. She has always been the glue that has held the "Konen" family together. She was so proud of both of you. She loved Al and Mary and was always bragging about the boys. You all made her very happy!!! You are all in my heart and prayers. I wish I could be there.
