Not sure what to say?

I can't believe it's already been a year since we lost Jean. She was so much fun, that laugh was contagious and she was so talented. I know her family misses her every day as I miss my parents each and every day. So thankful for what they taught me. God Bless our Jean!!

Thinking of your family at this time of year. I'm sure Jean is smiling down on all of you as you share the love of the Christmas season. Please know we miss her too, but smile every time we think of her. You were blessed to have Jean and Don for parents. She was one of my best friends for many years even though we didn't see each other often. We always knew we were "there for each other. Love to all.

To all the family, I am so saddened to hear of Jean's passing. Jean is my first cousin. She was always so much fun and I remember her wedding day. Her laugh and that laugh of her brothers and sister was extremely contagious and always made me happy. I am eleven years younger than Jean so we didn't get to do as much together as I'd have liked. Jean will never be forgotten and I will miss her terribly. God Bless you all.
