    Jean will be remembered as a kind, gentle person.
    Through my personal life, as in family and friends, I have delt with a few cancer patients.
    In my medical life I experienced many cancer patients unable to cope with what they were facing.
    Jean, she stands far above all, as a person with great fortitude, strength a resolve. It is truly inspiring how she faced the issues placed before her. She allowed her faith and belief that she will enter the gates of heaven, which gave her such great strength. I always enjoyed stopping my oustide work and talking with her at the street.
    She was always concerned for mom, and for Jean’s caring concern, I am greatly appreciative.
    On our last talk out on the street she said some very kind things which I will hold dearly and never forget, I think she knew that would be our last talk. I reminded her, through a personal happening, that we will all meet again and that we all have purpose, reason and destiny. My story gave her great joy, solidified her religious belief and I hope gave her greater strength.
    We will miss Jean, her calls with mom, my talks out on the street, her kindness, Christmas cookies, and seeing her walk the dogs.
    May Jean, Requiescat in pace ( Rest In Peace )
    The Thomas family, Neighbors for 38 years.

    Jean was one of the nicest and carrying people I have had the pleasure of calling my friend. We will always remember the Friday dinners at Ledo with Bruce and Jean. She always had a kind word for everyone and looked at the positive side in everyone. She was a wonderful friend and we will truly miss her. Although she will be missed we hope it will comfort her family knowing she is no longer in pain.
