I just now learned of Jean's passing. She was my dear childhood friend and more. I will miss her dearly. A series of traditional Latin Masses will be offered for the repose of her soul and for the comfort and consolation of her loving family.

Jean was a great friend to me. I met Jean and Jim while tending bar. They couldn't have been a cooler couple full of insight and jokes. I was working to become a screenwriter and Jean always had great notes and she was kind enough to share a script she had written that was absolutely wonderful. She was very very talented and full of wit. I will miss her dearly. May the good lord wrap his arms around Jean the way she did to me and welcome her into eternity. My deepest condolences to Jim and her family.
