Carroll and Family-
I am so sad to hear of your loss. I worked many years with Jean and she just cracked me up. We had alot of good laughs out at Cattlemans.....lots of good memories. I loved to shock her and she would just look at me and say "oh Kid" and shake her head and walked away. When I heard the marge simpson story, I couldn't leave it alone and called her marge for a long time....she hated it but we laughed. Everyone must have such fond memories. She was a great lady and will be missed my many.

I am so sorry and saddened by your loss. If there is anything I can do for your family please let me know. I know Jean would be and often was the first to help someone else.
What can I say that hasnt already been said and that I am sure you already know. She was such a joy to be around and I always loved visiting with her. She always had the time to ask about the boys and was so very proud of her family and their many achievements as well.
I will miss her "hey kid" .
