Such a delight to work with Jean & then to be her pharmacist for many years. I loved for her to show me her recent craft.

So so saddened to hear the news of Jesn's passing. I worked with Jean at Westminster Canterbury as a fellow employee way back in the early '80s and then was her social worker at Westminster Canterbury till I retired in 2021....then I continued to enjoy her friendship when my own mother lived on first floor west until her death in August of last year. Many fond me memories of Jean.....Prayers & thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Would have loved to come to her service, but we are in the process of moving to AZ next week.

My condolences to the family. Ms. Garthright and I worked together . I later became her nurse. We often laughed about how she helped to plan my wedding. I'm grateful for having known her for 43 years. May God bless each of you. May her memories bring joy to your hearts.
