Jean will always be in my thoughts. She was such a kind and loving person and I will always have my daughter's baby blanket, that she made, to remind me of the unbelieveable person she was.

Mrs. Ziegler was my "school Mom" for a very long time at Wyndcroft. I would not be where I am today without her and the contributions she made to my life. May she rest in piece. God bless.

Jean was one of those people that you meet once in a life time. She was the leader,the caretaker, the mother,and the terrific hugger. You always felt love and kindness around her. I am blessed to have had the opprotunity to work with Jean and remain her friend for many years. She will surely be missed by everyone whose life she touched which was so many. God Bless her family and friends during this difficult time. Jean was one in a million. With my deepest sympathies. Sally Harris
