We are all assured that Jean sees the face of God! I have so many pleasant memories of growing up next door to Jean and Mickey and their kids. Jean and her family are in the prayers of the monks of New Melleray Abbey.

Schomer family,
I'm sorry to hear of Aunt Jean's passing. She was a wonderful and loving person. I have many fond memories of coming to visit the Schomer clan. Your mom always made us feel welcome. I'm so glad that I got to see her last August and spend done time with her.
Thoughts and prayers with you all.
