I’ve always thought of her as Mama Jean. She was always around while us kids got together. She was funny and caring. When I was in the hospital she was my nurse it was good knowing she was around since i was only a.kid. She will be missed. Treasure the memories, they will bring you lots of joy. RIP Jean for you were so loved by many people that you touched.
