So sorry for the families loss. I enjoyed so much knowing Jean. She was a sweet sweet lady. We had a good time helping with brownies. ����❤️ To you all.

I juat now found out of Jean's passing as I found Grace's obituary. My heart is heavy at the loss of both of these dear women. My parents, Jack and Zella Mae James, were great friends of theirs and Jean especially was like family. My sympathy to Anthony and to the others who called this wonderful woman their own.
