My sympathies to Jean's family. I remember when Jean used to visit my mother-in-law, Florence, at our home in Pt Pleasant Beach. Florence enjoyed those visits very much. When Jean would ask where Florence would like to go for lunch, she would always answer: McDonald's! Jean was my husband Tom's Godmother and he always spoke of her warmly. I remember Jean to be a thoughtful and kind woman. Rest well, Jean and give a hug to Florence from me when you see her.
