Jean was one of those people who touch us so rarely with true joy of living. Jean sparkled! And she made everyone around her feel like life was supposed to be fun. A caring and compassionate woman, she will be missed. My heart goes out to Ray and her entire family. We were so lucky to have her in our lives.

So, so very sorry for your overwhelming and devestating loss Ray (and Joan)! I'm hoping your pain and your heart will heal. Many fond and fun memories of my Jr. High and early High School years include doing cartwheel's and handsprings in the Olsen backyard, or swimming together at city beach, sleepover's at one house or another of a group of us, practices with Sue Quistorf coaching the first gymnastic team and competing in gymnastic meets. These are only a small part of the happy history I have growing up with the "Olsen Twins" from grade school on. Jean, and Joan, have always been unique and special symbols of our class whether they wanted to or not! The twins were somewhat even a symbol of Oak Harbor, making it especially devastating for those who feel the same and are a part of the class of '72. Having one without the other seems impossible! It makes the loss even more heartbreaking and multiplied, not to mention her one of a kind personality! Jean's passing is still hard to fathom and is such a harsh unwanted closure. I'm so sorry for all experiencing the sting of it and cannot imagine the depth of pain in this devastating loss and grief for all of you who were so very dear to her heart. My heart goes out to you as I lift you in my prayers before the One who can help us through. With Love...Lyndell

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Jean, I heard so many wonderful stories from Ray. It was always clear how much Ray loved Jean!

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a real hope for the future. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.
