Dear Jean, we miss you already. I and Flo [who is welcoming you up there] remember the many good evenings playing games together as neighbors on High St inLima. Also the fun filled camping trips in the Adorondicks, especially Chet’s car covered with leaves after a bad storm that made your car look camafloged car. My sincere sympathies to all the family and especially to all the kids My prayers are with you during this hard time. God’s comfort be with you all. Love ya’ll.
So very sorry for your loss, Ruth Ann. God bless Jean.
Jean was a dear friend for many years. She will be missed by all. She was so lucky to have a wonderful family to take care of her. Rest in Peace Jean.
We enjoyed knowing Jean when we lived in the apartments in Geneseo. My husband Bill took Chet her husband out for coffee. They really enjoyed one another. I have one of Jean’s painting that I treasure. It is white daises on black background. Very lovely! Be at peace as she’s no longer suffering in the arms of Jesus!
I will see you later! How wonderful it is to know you’re dancing with Jesus! I’ve missed our conversations. You will be missed. Prayers to the family.
Jean willl be forever in my heart. I always marveled at how talented she was with her arts and crafts. We always laughed when we were together. What a devoted mother and grandmother. Her faith helped me to cope with things in my life. She taught me well. She also, was a loving wife to her husband that she took care of for years. She now is an angel watching over all of us. Love you Jean.
Jean, I will miss you so very much ! You were the best friend anyone could ever have. We met in 1996 when we moved across the street from you & Chet. You were the first person to welcome us to the neighborhood, hands filled with veggies from your garden ! We soon became good friends…you taught me so much, and treated my kids and loved them as if they were your own. I will never ever forget you and our precious friendship !! You truly are My BFF
