I am so sorry to hear about Jeans passing. I used to pamper her at the salon she went to, and we always had a good time talking about books we've read or movies we've seen recently and took recommendations from each other.

Dr. O´Brien had a positive impact on my during my time at Kings. She always made time for me and gave great advice. She will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the O´Brien family. I have fond memories of Jean with our chats during Caroline´s middle and HS years. Her laugh was contagious. Rest in Peace

Jean was a wonderful colleague and friend. We gave several conference presentations together and hers was always a wise and caring voice on committees. She was a dedicated professional, a valued member of the King´s community, and a good friend.

Ed, Caroline & Lindsey, I am so sorry for your loss. Jean was such a wonderful person that inspired so many people. She was a true role model especially for young women. God bless.

Jean meant a lot to many, as a co-worker and friend my thoughts would cherish the times we enjoyed with she and Ed. She was so proud of her family and enjoyed the benefit of working with youth in the juvenile mentoring program.
