I am so very sorry for your loss. Jean was a wonderful woman who always seemed to understand what was important most important in life, and that was her family. She helped shape and mold Bob, Leigh and Amy with a gentle touch to make them the wonderful people they are today. She can never be replaced and will be missed by all those who met her as she was an angel on earth. I send my love and support to her family.
