The recent news of Jean’s passing brings me much sadness. Although I am not a personal friend of the family I knew her well from visits to the office I worked at. Seeing her name on the days list always brought a smile to my face. I am sure that her beautiful spirit is now bringing smiles to all those she can now be with in death. I am very sorry for your loss of such a wonderful woman. She will be greatly missed.

Don,

My prayer is for you and family.

Jean will be missed by the ones who knew her.

I knew Jean from 1952 which is a long time ago.

I think I met you once before you got married.

Sorry for your loss.
