Dear Family, I was sad to hear of the passing of Jean. She and I loved each other so much. She was a mess. We laughed all of the time together. I loved her laugh. She will be missed for sure. She’s gone to her heavenly home and we can be comforted to know where she is. To all her children. I never stopped loving you. Cherish your memories! Much love, Tammy
