I met Jean at my work at Safeway where she would come in every day, not long after she became a friend, she loved to walk everyday, loved her flowers, carnations were her grandkids and her favorite. When she told me she was going for a operation, she was at peace, I soon after noticed she wasn't coming in asked my co-workers if they have seen her, I was very saddened to learn of her passing. TO all of her family, my peace be with you, she was a blessing in many peoples lives mine included, may god bless all who new her. amen. - Posted by: Tammy Jonasson (friend) on: Sep 18, 2015
