My favorite memory of Jean was that she had a character of a woman's head that she used to draw. I would come into the Activity Room in the morning & find it on our black board. I knew that Jean had visited during the evening. Our own little graffiti artist! Our sympathies to the family. I hope you will still participate in our Holiday Parade!
