I have known Jean all my life – she was one of the “church ladies” I grew up with! She was very kind-hearted and loved to engage in conversation, and she was truly interested in what you had to say. I have a few of her wonderful recipes, which I have always cherished. Susan, your mom was so special and she will be missed greatly – thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.
