I love and miss you....mom. It was very special to spend some final time together and especially looking through all the family photos together. I will think of you everyday, and tell Landon and Elise all about you.
I was telling Landon that his grandma and my mom passed and he said he will get me another one from the flea market..hopefully that makes you laugh..I love how children see the world.

Jean and I met working at IBM. She had the most beautiful smile and laughed heartily as we met for lunch with our dear friend Kay Hufstedler. We missed Jean when she left California but always remembered our good times during our gatherings. My deepest sympathy and condolences to Jean's son and family.

Jean and I met when we both worked at IBM in Palo Alto, CA, as Administrative Managers. We became fast friends sharing hobbies, many friends and a lot of laughter. Always a happy person, Jean had a smile that lit up a room, and she loved Sees' candies...especially chocolate peanut clusters. After she retired, Jean went to work at a small office where I sometimes helped out when Jean took a vacation. The office was very close to a Sees' candy store, so lunch usually included a walk to Sees. . I miss our lunches together, working together, laughter, as well as having her as a friend for so many years. God Bless you, my friend.
