I was so sorry to hear of our dear cousin's passing away. My brother Herb McKee called me here in Årizona. I have many wonderful memories of Jean and enjoyed talking with her not too long ago. She had so many interesting stores to tell. As others have said, she was always a very positive person and seeing the best in everything and everyone, Jean always called me Katherine in such a royal way. My thoughts are with you, Jeff, Tim and Ted.

Mrs. Walsh was a teacher of mine, at Woodland School in the 70's. I remember her fondly. May you find comfort knowing she lives on in the lives she touched as a teacher.
God Bless.
