I'm sending love to Aunt Jean today -- I will miss my Uncle Joe and all the good times we shared in Madison. Joe had a sly sense of humor and a way of making everything fun. He was always quick to offer love and support, and when we were kids, a stick of JuicyFruit gum. I picture him now in heaven with Mom and Maggy and my grandparents - quite a group, and I'm sure they're sharing a laugh. My heart is with you, Aunt Jean.
With love,
Betsy Brown

Hi Aunt Jean,
Jason and I were just talking the other day about the time you both came out with mom & Aunt Joan to visit. I remember mom saying what a great smile Uncle Joe had & how much we all enjoyed that day.
My thoughts are with you, remember the fun times.
