My heartfelt sympathy to family and friends of Jean. I will miss her so much, as she treated me as if I was a daughter. I think of the many hours we spent at the lake playing Rummykube and her childlike enjoyment. She certainly fit mine and Donna's nickname for her -- "Jazzie". I loved her and will miss her deeply.

I know she is now contented being with Don, as she never recovered from the loss of him. So, Jazzie, I bid you a fond farewell, and am comforted in knowing someday we will be reunited.
