I'm so lucky to have had Jean as a sister and good friend. She was a fighter. And ALWAYS had a positive attitude. She gave me strength. I miss her.

Although I only had the pleasant opportunity to get to know Jean recently, I found her to be a very special person. I could see by the care that Bob and Annie gave her that the love in the family ran deep. You are special people and I feel privileged to know and have known you. My prayers are with the entire family.

Robert,,,
I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your wife and life-partner.
My condolences to you, your family and all those who knew and cared about Jean.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope you and yours find it to somehow replace the light that was Jean in your lives.
Wishing you all the best,,,John
