I am very sorry to hear about Jean's passing. I worked with Jean, and we became friends, when we were both working at Northeast Electronics. Great memories.

Lindsey, Julie and family, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. A flood of memories rushed in from childhood. I remember your mom always having a book in her hand. I saw her a few times in recent years walking her beautiful golden retriever on Eley Lane. My heart is heavy with sadness for you.

Jean was a remarkable woman and a great boss, mentor and friend to me when I was fortunate enough to work for her at the State during my college and law school summers. Though she was not a lawyer, she was extremely well versed in the health care laws and rules that she helped to promulgate. She was a tremendous influence and inspiration to me as a young women finding my way in the employment world and I cherish the times that I was able to spend with her. And she always spoke so lovingly and proudly of her girls. Peace to you Jean.
