Jean Marie and I were "best pen pals" when we were girls. We had the best times together on her family visits back to Little Falls. I had been looking for her on the internet to try and reconnect and am so sad to read of her sudden death. My sincere and deep sympathy to her Mom and her family - she was a sweet girl.

David and Tessa,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your spouse and mother. I went to elementary and high school with her and also knew her parents and brother. The last time I saw her was almost 40 years when we had dinner on a couple of occasions. She was a wonderful person and I have very fond memories of her. She will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

Wayne Palecek
