Another year flies by. Seems to go faster as you get older. Can´t believe this is our 24th summer However, the memory of her (with a fishing rod in her hand) is still very vivid in our minds. We always look across the house and think of her and Bill and think of the days when everybody came over and sat on our porch. We still really miss her. Hope the family is well. I´ll be in touch. We can go to dinner and catch up. Luv u guys. Eddie & Tess

Hi Guys, I can't believe it is 11 years. Seems like just last week we moved in and Bill came across the street in about 10 minutes to welcome us. Jane was not far behind. I think she has just finished fishing. lol In my minds eye I can still see her leaving and going over to the pier with hear fishing gear and tackle box. We look across the street when we are sitting on the porch and there she is. Oh how we wish for those days again. Little (lol) John was always near her and Bill. Now he is out west. WOW I hope we can stay in touch and get together at times with all of you and the Gkids. We miss her very much and our chats on the porch in the evenings, but as long as we have those wonderful memories she will never really be gone. Luv U Guys. Eddie and Tess

Wow!!!!! ware has the time gone 9 years, we don't believe it. To this day every time we go to Margate we look across the street and think of Bill and Jean. In my mind's eye I see Jean with her fishing rod with Bill in the kitchen cooking some sort of Pasta. Boy do we still miss them. RIP Jean. I wonder how Heaven is now with both if you up there. Luv u Guys, Ed

I can't believe where the time has gone. You will notice I put "Family" as relationship, because that is what she and Bill were to us. I can still she her coming home with her fishing rod. Tess and I often look across the street and always wish they were both there. We reminisce a lot about those days and wish they had continued, but we know she and Bill are in a better place. We tell the little ones (our GKids, Sammy came right after Jean left, in Nov of 12'), stories about them and how lucky we were to have them as friends. We miss both them and love them dearly as we do for all of you and the your GKids. RIP Jean and Bill. We will see each other again. Luv u guys Ed

Dear Kimmy,Billy and Kara,
I am so sorry for your loss.
Jeannie Bird was one of a kind. I will remember the hours of laughing at the subshop, the New Year's Eves and Red Dog ( when I was thrown out in the cold, with money and bread in my hands so i could bring in the New Year as First Foot). I loved your parents. thanks for sharing them with me.

Jean and I worked together, along with husband Bill, at Resorts Casino in the early days. I also deejayed Bill and Jean's 25th Wedding Anniversary party. We all became pretty good friends. Jean was one of the loveliest people I ever met. My sincere condolences to Kim and the entire Catino family. Rest in peace, Jean.

Tess & I always knew summer started when we saw Jean and Bill down the shore. They were the first people I met when we moved in. Bill 10 minutes after and Jean later, of course after fishing. We will miss our chats on the front porch and her Scotish accent. Especially with Grand Mom Mary. Our families feell lucky that our paths crossed in this life. God Bless you Jean. Say hello to Bill. Don't worry we will be there for the whole family. RIP. God Bless. Ed and Tess
