I am so sorry Michael, Jane and family. Your mom was truly one of my favorite people. She was a progressive woman who embraced change and was such an encouragement to me as I navigated a changing world for women. I will always remember my conversations with her so fondly. Aunt Jean holds a very special place in my heart.

To Michael,Jane and families
Please accept our deepest sympathies and condolences on the loss of your mother Jean. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor. Always loved talking to her and wondered where she was after she sold her house. She really loved her grandchildren and was so proud of all of you.
May she Rest In Peace.
