Jean was my favorite sister-in-law. I first met her when she was still a school girl. She was adorable in her short tunic and black stockings and her personality was a hundred times more adorable. Needless to say, I'm devastated by her loss and my heartfelt condolences go to all of her family. - Posted by: Bill Korolyk (Family) on: Nov 01, 2005
