Our Jean will never be forgotten. She gave her all for everyone she met. I will always remember the nights we spent catching up on news, solving all the worlds problems right there at the bar in her kitchen. Jean was always kind and always had kind words to share. She was and will always be the best neighbor/mom/sister/friend/nana anybody could ever have. She will be truly be missed. May God Bless You All as you share the memories of this very special time of Jean's life. Eternal Life with our Lord.

I was very sorry to hear about your loss. When someone dies it greatly pains our heart. The Bible tells us that one day God is going to wipe out all sorrow, tears, and death. We all look forward to the time when we will see our love one again. My deepest sympathy.

Your mother was one-of-a-kind teacher and I enjoyed her wit. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. My best memories were at Danbury Elementary School with John & Jean having parties & outside field trips. Those were "The Good Old Days"!
She will truly be missed. God Bless you all.
