Aunt Jean, you will be deeply missed, I remember when I was a little girl. I would come over and visit you & couldn't wait to get into the cookie jar & go after those big cookies. I also remember picking the plums off your trees in the back yard. I remember my parents and everyone gathering at your house or ours, those sure were the good ole days! Aunt Jean you were the "Queen of Coupons"! Your spirit was like a shinning star, you brought a lot of comfort to me and lifted my spirit, weather it was over the phone or in person. My Aunt Jean was on of a kind, and I will miss her deeply...I know that you and dad are together again, our journey will continue together in spirit until we meet again. Love & Healing to all the family memebers, God Bless, Love Cindy.

I never had the opportunity to really get to know Aunt Jean. I visited her while in Michigan a few years back, and was amazed at how well her memory of me as a child was. I am glad that both of my sisters got to spend time with her enabling them to have some wonderful memories. My condolences go out to my cousins as they continue on in life without their Mom. It was my understanding that she loved her children and grandchildren very much. May you rest in peace Jean. Say hi to Dad for me.

I will miss my Aunt Jean very much. She was like a mother to me, I will never forget all the wonderful visits and phone conversations that we shared over her lifetime. I am so lucky and greatful to have had her for my Aunt, she was sharp minded, sweet, loving, kind and had a great sense of humor. I am thankful that I was able to return to MI recently to see her, I won't forget my last visit with her. I love and miss you Aunt Jean...You were the best! You are now at peace and with your brother Glenn-my dad, I know the two of you will pick up where you left off. My love and condolences go out to the rest of the family. Colleen Grove-Spielmann
