To Jeans loving family, we send our condolences to all the family & friends that loved Jean so very much. Jean lived an exciting life, with very few dull moments recorded. We met Jean several times through her son Pete, and daughter-in-law Sandra, and felt like we have known her for almost 50 years. Jean was a very caring, and thoughtful person, and will be missed by many. RIP Jean
You are together again! We love you!
