Jean Ferrarell Obituary

To my dear cousins:

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I remember her fondly as she was full of life and such a sweet person.

I remember fondly all the family gatherings with our family, aunts and uncles and all the cousins as we gathered together for picnics, holidays, and etc. (Oh yes, and LOTS of great food!)

I lived on Greenview Street as a very young child and there always was a lot of activity and wonderful memories at that home. I have a photo of your parent's wedding hanging on our wall where our grandma Luminata, aunts, uncles and cousins are all together.

Also as a side note; Janette was named after my mother who both Mike and Jean loved dearly.

May the Lord Jesus give you all peace and confidence to know that He has our loved ones in His hand and He is faithful.

MIKE: I JUST GOT INTO WORK AND SAW THE E-MAIL FROM BILL POTRATZ.SORRY ABOUT YOUR MOMS
PASSING.BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Janette & family - We are so sorry to hear of Jean's passing. Even though you knew this would happen, I'm sure the timing was still a surprise. I hope you have a bundle of warm memories from having your Mom stay with you - I'm sure you are so glad you had that time for yourself and your kids. We are thinking of you all and wishing we could give you all big hugs. Lots of love, Michelle, Slade, Cody, Graham, Sebastian & Zane Winchester

Tim, I was so sorry to hear about your mom. Please accept my condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To Rick, Your mother was a beautiful, kind, giving, strong, and intelligent woman. Everyone that knew her was a better person for it. My memories of her will always be lovely. Susan Ferrarell/Donile

Janette and Rick, Our thoughts are with you through this painful time.
Warm thoughts and prayers, James, Cynthia and Caitlin Horine

To Jean's Family,
I remember when Mike and Jean got married. We had so much fun and the whole family was there! What a group we were that day!
Then the kids starting coming and I was getting older. I was so happy the day you asked me to be Timmy's Godmother. I was thrilled.
I watched as the family grew and my own life started. I only know that being with Mike and Jean was always a lot of fun, whether it was a family picnic or a wedding.
The last time I saw you Jean was 6 years ago when I came to Illinois, of course, for a wedding. We got to talk and visit and meet your wonderful friend Joe.
I know all your kids and grandkids will miss you terribly, but I know that you are in heaven with Mike and with the Lord forever. I know that we will someday join you, but until then the fond memories keep us all going.
Your Cousin,
Lory Martinek

Memories and Snap Shot Pictures

Memories are images that we carry in our hearts.

Snap Shots are images that we carry in our picture albums.

I will always carry the memories of you in my heart. They will remain there for a lifetime.

I will remember when we first met many years ago, I was a young teenager and you were a young woman preparing for marriage to my brother Michael.

You were so beautiful and full of life, love and anticipating the wonders of the future.

I remember the day you brought home your first child Joe. What a joyful day that was.

I remember the day you brought home Michael, Rick, Tim and that precious daughter Janette that you waited so long for. Each of their arrivals was a gift from Heaven.

What a wonderful family you and your husband created. You shared all your joys, sorrow, laughter, struggles and most of all fun of every day life.

Through it all you never gave up your faith in God and "that all will be well".

Not like the snap shots of life that fade away with time, I will never be far from you. My memories of the times we shared will always be with me as they are stored in the inner chamber of my heart.

Lovingly, Your Sister-in-Law

To the Ferrarell Family: So sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. She was such a kind woman, I will never forget when we were growing up how nice she always was. There will always be "great memories" of growing up on Greenview Ave. My prayers are with you.

To the Ferrarell family, Jean was a cherished friend to both my wife and me. She was such a big part of our lives for so long. Even though I’ve moved away from Chicago, Jean has always remained close in my heart.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. With loving memories and caring thoughts, Fred Martinelli and family.

To Janette and family, our deepest condolences. May your memories give you strength today and for the days ahead. Our thoughts are with you.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I remember her fondly as she was a terrific friend to my mom, Florette. They used to have long, nightly telephone conversations that always seemed so interesting to me! Now they can laugh together in Heaven.

To Janette Siegel and her family. We are so sorry for your loss. We know Jean will remain in your hearts forever.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Jean T. Ferrarell. May her memory live on through the many beautiful children, grandchildren, and immediate & extended family members and friends who will continue to carry her in their hearts for eternity. God Bless.

Mike, please accept my condolences on the passing of your Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To all of the Ferrarell family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love to all of you Patrick, Kathy, Hilary, Joseph, Benjamin, and Shannon Geraty

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

A fine and gentle person and friend.
You will be in our prayers.

Jerry, Amaal, Jerome & Timothy Tokars

To the family and friends of Jean Ferrarell we offer our condolences. Susan and I had the pleasure to meet Jean at the home of Joe Klebeck at Christmastime, 2004, where we were celebrating the holidays and the engagement of our son, Jay, to Joe's daughter, Janet. Jean's grace and generosity of spirit helped us feel very, very welcome and Joe and Jean's friendship of which Janet had lovingly told us was a treat to see in action.

May the sorrow of Jean's passing be tempered by the celebration of a life well lived.

Sincerely,
Kenyon & Susan Wells
