What a loss. Jean kept our section straight at HRL. I enjoyed talking opera with her at Symphony Hall. She was informed about everything. She will be missed.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Jean's passing. My heartfelt condolences to her family. Jean was our chief clerk at HRL and helped us all in so many different ways. She was always cheerful and willing to do anything to make our job easier. We, all her co-workers, will fondly remember her for we became one family working in Research. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

I was a seat mate of hers on a bus trip several years ago. What a lovely lady. My sympathy to all. She is a place of no more pain, suffering or sorrow. May God have mercy on her soul, may she rest in peace and may her memory be eternal
