Aunt Jean was always so upbeat and positive! I hate that I live so far away and hadn't seen her in years. We did talk on the phone once in awhile and she was happy to chat with me and to catch up. A very loving aunt who will be missed.

Thanks for the memories and the love, Aunt Jean! You're celebrating in heaven with all those you'd been missing!

My love to the immediate family...especially Penny and Tim and their families and Aunt Betty and Aunt Mary.

Aunt Aileen would like for the family to know how much she loved Jean. She missed seeing her over the past couple of years since Paul became sick. She has such loving memories of their visits and is thinking of everyone during this time.
