Not sure what to say?

My sympathies to you all. We were next door neighbors on Woodside in Grand Rapids. They were great neighbors. I babysat the boys, and Jean was always rushing out the door. I loved her positivity.

CJ & Kevin, We are so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. She was a lovely person-so welcoming to all, with a kind and gracious nature that made everyone feel comfortable. She was loved by so many and will be missed. Thinking of you and your families.

We got to know Jean when her children and ours went to the same schools from kindergarten through high school. She supported athletics, teachers, the school as a whole, her children and all others. If ever a volunteer was needed, Jean was there. More than that, it was impossible not to enjoy her optimism and sense of fun. We respected and liked her tremendously and are sorry we pretty much lost touch in the years since high school. She will be missed.

Rich, Roger, Barb, Christopher and Kevin, so sorry to hear about Jean. Out hearts go out to all of you. Such fond memories of South High school. Football games, double dates, Kewpie hamburgers then on to Michigan State followed by our weddings a week apart in 1966. May your sad hearts heal knowing the love she had for you.

Was sorry to read of Jean's passing. Knew her at Burton Jr High and always enjoyed her. Praying for her family and friends. I'm sure she is missed already! God Bless all

I have such fond memories of Jean my high school friend. The world will miss this wonderful woman. Sending prayers to family and friends of Jean.

We offer our condolences to Jean's family. We were connected through Hillcrest School, Cub Scouts, Northeastern Little League, and Central High School, where we served on the Athletic Boosters together. Jean was always VERY involved with all of these. She will be missed by anyone who knew her.

Kindergarten through highschool, lots of memories. My deepest condolences to Jean's family...I know she will be missed and fondly remembered.

Christopher, Kevin and family: We were sorry to hear of your mom`s passing. We knew Jean and Jim through our WN+J connections. Please accept our deep and heartfelt sympathy at your loss. May your memories of both of your parents keep them alive in your hearts.
