I am very sorry to hear this sad news. What a wonderful picture you attached to this guest book. She looks just like she did in high school.
Jean was always the fun and daring one of the group. She laughed often and was always smiling. I have many fond memories of Jean from our time at Derham Hall, free periods in the lunch room, Cretin mixers, midnight movies, and the State Fair.
My prayers to your family that God will cover you with his blanket of peace and healing. Heaven surely gained an angel.

Times like this can make things much more difficult to deal with and to understand why is beyond comprehension. I Pray for comfort, rest and peace for the entire Reiter Family; you are in my thoughts. Be well. sfrank

On this day 13 years ago, our dad left this earthly world for heaven. Early this morning, he showed our sister her way home. Tonight, we find comfort in knowing they are together again.
Our family doesn't always agree on everything, but one thing we do agree on is that Jean was the best of all of us and she brought out the best in all of us. She was beautiful inside and out. My earliest memory of my big sister was when she brought a pregnant stray dog home when we were just kids and then convinced our parents to let us keep her. Even at a young age, she was a caregiver. She battled cancer the last five plus years and she never gave up. This morning, she won the battle and is healed forever.
Life is all about the memories and you never know when you are making them. Jean had a way of making sure every memory was a great one.
- A woman without her sister is a like a bird without wings
My sister,Krissy, wrote the above the day Jean passed away. Great job Kris! Jean was a wonderful person and I was so lucky to have her as my sister. She fought her battle with cancer living each day to the fullest with a positive attitude. Love you Jean!!! Thank you Krissy for working tirelessly to ensure Jean received the best medical care possible. Thank you to the Staff at Saint Therese at St Odelia for their wonderful care the last week of Jean's life.
Rest in Peace Jean.
