I am so very sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of playing at your house when Kersten and I were kids and of Jean always having a snack ready and putting up with our running around and being noisy. I hope you can hold the happy memories close during this difficult time. Know that you are in our prayers.

Carmen, Kersten, & Jeanine
Words cannot express our feelings on the loss of Jean, a beloved next door neighbor and friend at Sunrise Cove in Branford. You could not find nicer people than Carmen & Jean as was evidenced by their devotion to their children and grandchildren by traveling daily between Branford, Cheshire and Meriden to make sure their grandchildren got to and from school every day until their parents got home from work. We will miss her friendship and hearty laughs that could be heard daily in the quiet waterfront salt air here at Sunrise Cove. May she rest in peace!!

Jean always had a story to share to make us laugh. She was an amazing teacher and enjoyed sharing her vast knowledge with everyone at HSR. May she rest in the arms of the Lord.
