Dear Johnson family,
I too was a class mate of Jean's at St. Joseph's. We all have fond memories of those days.
What an impressive career. It's too bad she was not able to enjoy her retirement with her family. We know not "hour or the day".
My thoughts are with you all at this time of Holy week.
Blessings,
JoAnn Bakker McPeek

Marie and family,
I was very sorry to hear about the death of Jean.
I was a classmate of Jean's at St. Joseph's School of Nursing and also have lived in California most of the time since graduation. We may have even passed each other on highway 101.
She had a remarkable career and it is sad that she didn't get to enjoy the fruits of retirement.
67 is just too young!
My thoughts and prayers are with Jean and your family.

Dear Johnson Family,
My husband, Deacon Steve and I, Rose (Dinovo)Grandinetti offer you our codolences.
I went to Blessed Sacrament Church/School and St Joseph's School of Nursing with Jean. Jean was a good friend and we shared many good times together. I recall enjoying the warmth and hospitality, I felt from Jean, your mother and all of you.
Jean and I shared many conversations together in the dorm. She could enlighted me and give good advice and support. Best of all Jean was a bridesmaid in our wedding. I have missed Jean's companionship through these years and now sadden by her death, but we must be happy for Jean that she is now embraced in the arms of our Lord.
Our love and prayers are with all of you. God bless and hope to see you at Jean's memorial service.
Steve and Rose

I went to nursing school with Jean and remember her as a great friend and classmate. Always fun and very competent, we shared many good times. We lost touch over the years, but the memories live on and I will miss her. Prayers and love to her family, especially Marie, during this sad time.
