I worked for many years with Jean, Don and Donna in the software side of the business. You all are very lovely people and my heart goes out to you. Even though I have not had contact with the family in a few years, I think of you often. I will alway remember Jean's fun loving personality and kindness. God bless you all.

I am terribly sorry to hear of Jean's passing. We spent a lot of years in the same office building, and I found her to be a very gracious lady in every way. You are all in my thoughts.
