For 12 years, we shared our family news, our work, our opinions and our lunch. Can't believe that Jean who was so vital and so interesting is gone. Will wait to see her in heaven. Love and sympathy to Kenneth, Lynn, David, and Eunice. Know you must miss her terribly.

I have many fond memories of Jean when she worked in the Nursing Department at Elmhurst College. She was a wonderful person to work with. She was always willing to help anyone who needed help.
