To Jean's son and the rest of her family.
I have known Jean for a while. I work at Autumn Aegis Nursing Home.
I provide activities for the residents at AA and jean has been attending
these activities for many years.
She was very spunky and I loved Jean. She will be missed.
One fond memory i have is a few years ago i went to the Lorain Historical
Building and i was going through old photos and i stumbled on one that was
Jean in her younger days.
I made a copy for Jean and I gave it to her and brought up some vivid
memories.
Thanks for sharing your mom with us.
