Dear Rosalie, Carol and Chris I am saddened to hear of Jean's death. John and Jean were always the model for me of the Most Beloved Aunt and Uncle. I was always impressed seeing Jean and John at all of their nieces and nephew's school, parish and sporting events. They were always the most loving and accepting of people. I was blessed to have known them and the family. Be assured of my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. With much love,

I worked with Jean at FZR for a few years before her retirement. She was a great lady. Your family has my deepest sympathy.
Jean (and Emma and Gracie) were such a special part of our lives. She and her girls brought such joy to the neighborhood! My daughter befriended Jean over their shared love of dogs, and Jean was a wonderful encouragement when she was adjusting to her diabetes diagnosis. Her sweet presence is already dearly missed.
My condolences to Carol and the family who are hurt by this loss of a loved one. Betty Keener
