Hello Bob and family, I am so sad to hear of Jean's passing . I always respected and enjoyed being around her. A very fine woman. Please accept my condolences. I will see you in the future Bob, but unfortunately my husband and I are away at the time of Jean's Memorial service.
We will all miss her quiet confidence.
