My husband and I just found out about Jean passing this morning and are sad that she has left this physical world. We will miss talking to her and corresponding. Jean was a positive and sensitive friend who was a terrific example and great Mother. Jean showed us how one can have a rich life in service and hard work into our later years. Prayers for all her family and loved ones.
Hugs for you always Jean,
Dan, Ruby, Mic, Zac and family
