Dear Bill, I send my deepest sympathies to you and your family at the sudden passing of Jean. Although my only memories of times spent together overseas, are of the micorwave cooking club she often hosted, she left a warm, caring and loving impression on me. May such memories help sustain you in the time ahead, and help you in the healing. Memories of her will keep her alive in you heart and strengthen you.
Sincerely, Doris

Dear Family,

Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know that they are happy.

Perhaps Jean is dancing on the clouds in heaven with the angels and is smiling down on us, letting us know that she is happy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With love,

Dear Bill, Vince, Julie, Damon, and the whole Callas and York families:

We were saddened to hear of Jean's passing. We, like others, spent many happy occasions with your family when we lived in Germany. The curling bonspeil in Uzwil was one of our fondest memories of our time together. Jean was a joy to have known.
All our sympathies, Jane, Jerome, Karen, Anne & Pamela Jesseau
