Paul & Jean were my parents best friends since Belmond High School Class of 1945. They took trips together with my parents & were also at most of our family events. So they were considered family by us all. After Mom died I visited Jean twice a year and I always had a good visit, bringing her the mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that she liked. We shared meals & floats & memories until she didn't remember. I love you, Jean, & will treasure our times together & with family especially our Alaskan cruise. Now all four of you are reunited in heaven. I wish it were possible to be at your service and give my personal condolences to Nina, Reese, & John.
