Family and friends. Sorry to read about Jean's passing. It was a pleasure working with Jean at Canada Permanent Trust years ago, and she was an extremely wonderful lady. She was always pleasant and friendly to everyone she met. To Jean's sister Betty, hello and my sympathy is with you today, as I use to bowl with Betty and her husband years ago, they were the ones who introduced me to Jean and I started to work with her. Thank you so much. With deepest sympathy, - Posted by: Christine (Davis) Moore (Co-Worker) on: Oct 20, 2006
