Jean was my sister-in-law. She would go to all the book sales that my brother Chub and I went to for many years. She enjoyed looking at and buying the cook books and the childrens books she bought for their grand children. She will be missed by many. (Jean give our love to Chub when you meet up with him)

I’ve never met Mama Foss but through working with Scott for 18 years, I felt like I knew her. My heart is saddened for this loss. You are all in my prayers and thoughts.
