Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Jean was one of the greatest people I have ever known and she was my aunt. She brought comfort, kindness, compassion and good will to everyone she came in contact with. She was beautiful and helped everyone without giving it a second thought. She never expected anything in return. She helped strangers and animals every day of her life. I have memories of Jean from the time I was a small child in Argo. She helped me get through some of the most difficut times I have faced in my own life. Both she and your father talked to me and prayed for me about getting through my own unexpected losses, which were many in number. They were always there for me, like a seond set of parents, to guide me on my way. I had no one to give me strength when my father died in 1982, but Jean stepped forward and held my hand to help me get through it all. If I had not had her in my life, I do not know what I would have done at the time of his own funeral services. Jean and Joe never forgot me or let me down when a difficult Christmas came and all the unpleasant memories would come rushing back in. I cherish the memories of our times together as a family and as friends over the span of the lives we shared. I will miss Jean more than words can express. May the loving thoughts of those who care comfort you, strengthen you and bring you hope during this most difficult time. I love you all and send my deepest heartfelt sympathy and prayers.
