    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.
