Gram... I have always loved u. We shared lots of laughs and lots of tears. I'm glad I got you watching 'golden girls' maybe when life settles down for me I can watch it again in your honor. I miss your smile and hugs. Know that I'll proudly always call you my gram and I'll display our silly yet precious pictures around my new house. If only you got to see my new house, you'd be so proud! I love you & still can't believe you're gone. Hugs n kisses forever!

I Pray my Lord Jesus Christ be with Patty and her family through this hard time. May Jean rest in peace in heaven, may your amazing and loving spirt be safe within the loving arms of the lord. I'm so blessed to have been a part of this family for so many years. Jean will continue to watch over her family as she always did and heaven has just received one true angel. I left michigan 32 years ago but when I close my eyes I still see Patty my best friend sitting in that 7th grade classroom...

I worked with Jean for four years at Apollo and she was a wonderful, kind hearted woman. She shared a few milestones with me and was always there to give advise. My condolences to the family although I only met Shannon & Andy; your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Jean will be greatly missed.

I first met Jean when my husband and I started dating over 20 years ago. When we got married, she was my first neighbor and what a wonderful neighbor she was. Such a kind and loving woman she was. My husband always comments how beautiful she was to him as a child growing up. I am grateful to have known her and her children. To her children, always remember how much you were loved by your mom and she will always be watching over you. She is in a much better place and her pain is gone...
