Growing up
Jean was my big sister, 14 years older , and I could always depend on her . She was always there when I needed her …. Miss her terribly
First she was a child, then a sister.
She was a bride, then a mother.
She was a grandma, then a great one.
And she was a friend, to most everyone.
Though we lost her last week,
She will forever be our #1.
Peace mom.
Love isn’t conquered by death or time. Jean was larger than life. Until we meet again.
Jean was such an amazing human, she lived large, she loved larger. I will certainly miss her, never had a sister till the day we met, she welcomed me into the family 30+ years ago as if I had always been there.
Heaven recieved an amazing bossy angel. Earth will not be the same.
Dear Mitch and family,
