Dear Dodie, Susan, Bob & Karen and families,
Words cannot express how I feel about Jeans passing, as you well know. We had so many good laughs and stories.
We shared pictures I truly meant what I told your mom….she really was/is my ‘best-est’ friend. Jean was truly blessed with a loving and caring family.
…Always in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love!
