All my thoughts and prayers are with you guys…I feel lucky to have known .MiMa.. She was a wonderful, kind lady.
All our love to you at this time. We so enjoyed spending time with Jean in Connecticut and Fire Island. She was a wicked card player, but always wonderful to be with.
Jean really was one of the kindest persons I know. I appreciate the time we spent with her this summer, especially goofing around and .sneaking. up to Genaro\’s birthday party. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jean was a great friend when we were in high school at Lauralton Hall. We lived on Ft. Hale Rd. just 4 houses away.I knew your grandparents and Aunt Leonie. I knew your dad, Jim, very well too. Both were very fine people who raise fond memories for me. My deepest sympathies to all of you.
Thank you Jean, for making a kiwi girl(Jamie) feel at home when she was so far from home. Your kindness toward us both will always be remembered. Our thoughts are with you, Steven, Genaro & Harrison.
