I've known Jean for 65 years. She was a sweet, kind loving woman that loved her family, friends and fur babies. I'll love her and miss her until I see her again in heaven one day. My thoughts and prayers are with Tad and her family.

We were neighbors with Darrell, Jean, and Diana for many years until Darrell's death. They were great neighbors and friends and Diana and I were pals. My thoughts and prayers go to her remaining family.
