To the family of Jean, I'm Barb McLean and myself, my husband and all the people Jean played bridge with will miss her. We were on vacation and just found out today. We had called several times to see how she was doing.
We are so sorry for your loss. She was a very smart and friendly lady.

Grandma, you will be in my prayers. You never doubted my potentiality and you looked past what everyone else only saw. You were always there, through my best and hardest moments. You were the best grandmother a grandson could ask for.
