My condolences to the family. Miss Jean played a huge part in my life and my family's. She will be missed.
I have so many memories of her just about as far back as I can remember. She was so much fun to be around. She was always cutting up and had a beautiful smile! I work along side her for many years in the kitchen of my parents restaurant. She played a major part in my father's success.
I loved miss Jean and will never forget her.
