I always enjoyed spending time with Jean when I would visit Patty and Dan in Arlington, even as she was up in her years, she remained the same pleasant welcoming lady and kept herself well, and informed with the daily news I pray that she is now delighted in God´s presence, and was greeted with these words..." well done, my faithful servant"

Special memories of Jean and Frank at Meadow Breeze.
Jean was a wonderful woman, warm and interesting, whose warmth was enjoyed not just by her family but by their lucky friends as well.
She enriched so many lives.
