Jackie, Annie and the Boyd Family - I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom/Aunt/ Sister. I have wonderful memories of your mom! She always had a radiant smile to share with all in her presence and she was particularly nice to me during our years at St. Mark's. I will always remember the fun we had swimming at your pool, eating yummy snacks and having the time of our young lives. Your home was always welcoming and she always had time to listen. What a wonderful gift. I still remember her pep talk to me when I was worried I would not go to the junior ring dance. Days later I got a call and, viola, I had a date! I always wondered if she had somehow influenced (coerced?) my date into it....... She had a wonderful heart and she loved all. Keep those wonderful memories alive always and know in your heart, you will see her at the gates of heaven. Love to all, Joanne (Meleski) Senn

Jean was a wonderful person always so cheerful and fun. Jean was also a great encourager and always had a compliment to give. I feel honored to have known Jean. It was a great privilege to work with her at Weichert and at Coldwell Banker. I will fondly remember our conversations about Jaguar Cars. Jean I will miss you!

Always loved talking with Mrs. Boyd... we all looked "GORGEOUS" and she made sure she always told you so...she made me feel like a million bucks, even when I knew I looked like ten cents. We will miss you, Mrs. Boyd! Love, Deb Kowal

Mrs. Boyd (Jean) was one of the most influential women in my life. My heart goes out to Jack, Ann, Lauri, Rob and Bill and all her grandchildren and family. She will be truly missed, but the memories of all her wonderful contributions not only to me but to all the children of Holy Angels School will live on forever.

Dear Boyd Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a loved one. I have some myself. It a painful thing to go through alone. But I want to let you know, you are not alone. You have the support of family and friends who are willing to help you through anything. We can also rely on God. 1 Peter 5:7 says "while you through your anxiety upon him (God) because he cares for you". So remember that God is there and he is willing to help you through anything.
