Our sincere sympathies for Jennifer, Kay and Gina and their families during this difficult time. Jean was a strong, insightful woman who always supported your father in the work and life they shared. She was very kind to us as we assumed the practice in 1992 and we are grateful for the opportunity it provided for us. Again, our best to the whole Clayton family, Tom and Fran Butterfoss
