We loved Aunt Jean very much. We grew up with Aunt Jean, Uncle Milt, Susan, Janet, and Jeff because my father, Stan, was very close to his older brother, Milt. The Chicago Fishers were always there for us - we were their Cleveland family. Aunt Jean was brilliant, constantly read books, and had a wit and sense of humor that made you think! Our thoughts and prayers are with Susan, Larry, Janet, and Jeff. Lee, Peggy, Barbara, Michael, Richard, Jill, Sue and Steve will always be there for you.
Love, Lee
