Now and then
I was best man for Carl's wedding to Jean in the late 70's. Jean, Jane, Carl, and I were young and eager to make our way in this exciting City and business world. The story of the Twins' success with Benefit is a fairy tale come true. The storefronts, kiosks, experiments, and skepticism they overcame was admirable. I once received a call from Jean asking my help in phoenetically spelling and pronouncing Baltimore as a native would, as in Ballmer, so that it could be used in a new lipstick...

The "Ford Twins" shared a great part in my decision to pledge Kappa Alpha Theta at IU. Jean will be missed. Such creativity and beauty, such business acumen and brilliance, and so much fun! Loved living in the house with both of them. And... yes, I could tell them apart! Jean added value to everything she touched.

I am sorry to learn of Jean`s death. Please accept my condolences. I went through twelve years of school with Jean and Jane, and they were always the tallest girls in class. Here is a photo of my first grade class, and I believe Jean is in the middle of the back row although it might be Jane. I am in the first row, fourth from the right.

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Jean Ford. I had the pleasure of meeting Jean and Jane with my identical twin sister at Face Place almost 40 yrs. ago. I will never forget the fun times we had with your makeup and talking about growing up as identical twins! We all shared the same birthday too! May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Doris Rozzi DeSantis

My sincere condolences for your loss. As you endure this difficult time of sorrow, please turn to the Most High God for comfort as his word assures us at Jeremiah 29:12,13 "you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."
