Oh Jean, what a hole will be in my life now. For the past sixteen years we have shared so many moments. Our dogs, music and concern of our world have kept our friendship strong and vital. Rest peacefully Jean.
Jean, my dear friend, You leave a big hole in a lot of lives. Your work on earth was well done. Rest in Peace!
I will never forget you Miss Jean forever, love ❤️💕😢🥲
I have many beautiful memories of Jean, in the Legion of Mary. You were always ready and helpful. We will miss you.
Your work has been completed. Rest in Peace, Jean.
Our Legion of Mary Senatus will never be the same. Jean was so devoted to the Blessed Mother-and i’m sure Jean is beholding Mary’s Beautiful Face.
Jean, thank you for all of the wonderful conversations we had together. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing family, life’s moments and plants with you. I learned a lot from our conversations. You are dearly missed, and will never be forgotten!
Jean,
You were so caring and helpful with our Legion of Mary needs and helping with the PPC’s that we helped with. So glad we got to spend time with you recently at the Senatus meeting.
We enjoyed visiting about 3 hours a few days before your death. We had a lot in common.
We will miss you, also you are in our prayers. Your work is done, RIP and keep an eye on us and Frank Duff’s Legion of Mary.
May you rest in peace Jean
