I am so sorry for your loss. Jean was an amazingly strong woman. I will proudly run the Susan G Komen race in October in her honor. The last time I spoke to her was at AJ's going away party and she really inspired my newly acquired running skills. She was so motivating. She will be missed.

Felice and I knew Jean from the many family get-togethers we attended over the years and her presence on those occasions was always noticed and appreciated.
We both will long remember and reflect that, even sick, she attended our 50th wedding anniversary party in May 4th of this year.
She was one of the most gracious persons we have ever met and we wish you our condolences for your loss.

Jean is one of my favorite people. She was a friend and she had friends. She gave love and she received love. She fought a hard battle with the beast, cancer, but now she can rest. We'll miss you, Jean. Be at peace.
