As a best friend to our mom, Butzie, Jean kept track of us after Butzie died. She lunched us at LSCC, and loved to exchange raunchy jokes with Mel. She came to our family parties. She was a wonderful lady, and we will miss her.

I consider myself privileged to have lived next door to one of the finest, funniest, and sweetest people I have ever met. My memories of Jean Karger always make me smile.
