Jean,
It was an honor to have known you. Your smiles, hugs and cheerful conversations will be dearly missed. You were, hands down, one of the strongest women I have had the priviilege of knowing. You were an example to all who knew you, and will continue to guide your family with the lessons you have taught them, in words and by example. Rest in peace Jean.
Much love,
Tracy F.
