You and I have a bond like no other. It's taken a very long time for me to be able to put into words how I feel. The truth is, there are no words that I can find that even come close to discribing the love I have for you. I will continue to think back of the memories, talks, and laugher you gave me for the rest of my life and hope to impact my children and grandchildern's lifes the way you have ours. Thank you Grandma,for the time you have blessed me with durring your amazing life...

You will live on in our hearts, memories, stories, and life. I miss you!

love, Cam...

Jean: You were a wonderful, amazing Lady, Wife, Mom, Friend and confidant. I, and Scott, am so blessed to have been a member of your incredible family and will always cherish those memories (especially Thanksgiving)! You would be proud to know that I have a few orchids and ferns, which always remind me of you and John. God has blessed you -- I love you. Becky

Grandma,
You were so good to me, words can’t describe how much I admire and love you. I miss you more than you can imagine. I miss your smile, magic circles, zings, and your sense of humor. I will always remember going to the swings with you, dancing the Macarena for you and your simple yet delicious tuna sandwiches.
Well Grandma, you be a good toad in heaven together with Grandpa again, and I'll try to be good as well. I know I'll see you again one day but until then here's a magic circle, stardust and a big zing! :)
Love you forever and always,
Pokey

Jean or as I knew her was grandma is in my mind indescribable as one of the most loving and strongest women in my life.without her simple kind and wise words I probably wouldn't The gentlemen I am today.I don't have any memories to share because those would bring me to tears and I know she wouldn't want that but I can say that her pride courage and passion to live to the fullest will live on inside of me as long as I'm still standing and my kids will be given those same wise lessons she's given me along with the love she fills my heart with.
I love you forever and always grandma you will be missed but I know your happy with grandpa up there .
Love michael thomas brislawn
