My Aunt Jean was my mother´s sister, and when I was little, I was in awe of her beauty and her elegance. I wanted to grow up and be just like her.

Later through the years, I admired her so much for her strength, her faith, her spirit, and her beautiful heart. She loved her family & friends so much, and to be loved & cared for by her was truly a wonderful gift.

The last family gathering we had with Aunt Jean, there was so much love and so much laughter. I had never seen her laugh so hard, and I´m thankful to have such a beautiful memory.

RIP Aunt Jean...I love you, and I will see you again.
