There are so many memories: how beautiful she was to me the day she and my brogther were married; her grace and charm; her pride in her children; her obvious love of Bill. Many, many more. She is and will always be missed.

I have so many wonderful memories of Jean. She was such a big part of my childhood. I loved being at their house. She was the fun mom. I know she will be missed by those she left behind and will miss them as well, but it's good to think of her being reunited with Bill, Stephanie and Jamie.

I was Jean's boss at Felly's Flowers. She was the most trustworthy and reliable employee I have ever known in my 61 years in the floral industry. Lloyd Arndt
