Dear Bonnie and Family I am so sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. I got to know her over the past year when we were both receiving treatments. She was a wonderful, strong and interesting woman. I wish we had gotten more time to get to know each really well. May your wonderful memories help you through this difficult time. Rest in peace Jean – you will be remembered. Patrick and Greg also send their prayers to you.

Jean was one of those people that stayed on my mind after a leaving. I always knew she cared…one way or the other. A wide grin and a warm chuckle, or a no-nonsense rebuttal. And now, there’s this final leaving and I hope she knows we care, too. I’m sure she does…one way or the other. Our sincere sympathies, Tina, for you and your families.
