Dear George,

The world lost a precious angel but, in turn, heaven gained an endearing saint.  Jean was an angelic woman whose light emanated from the depths of her very soul.  She was as beautiful interiorly as she was exteriorly.  

Saturday evening Masses at Holy Family Parish were extra special:  For it was there that one would not only witness the most profound of living faith stories but also the truest of love stories, ideals to be emulated by all Catholics and married couples.  Your devotion to Jean—so touchingly tender and loving, was both a testimony to your love and to your ineffable kindness.  

Washington Irving aptly stated, “A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.”  Together, you and Jean made Holy Family Masses extra special—you were truly ‘fountains of gladness’ that elicited smiles from your adoring parishioners.  Jean will be profoundly missed.

Warmly,

Mary Garant

Dear George & Family.                                Jean was one of my best friends. I joined her Bible Study Class several years ago.  Everyone loved her. When she stopped leading the class she continued to come to be with our group I will miss her beautiful smile, friendship & great knowledge of the bible.      May God give you his Peace & Comfort.                       Love Pauline Thomas

Dear George,
I was very sorry to hear about Jean's passing.  She was such a ray of sunshine every time I saw her.  She was always smiling and such a joy to be around even from a distance.  I met Jean many years ago when I first began teaching Religious Education at Holy Family and she was so encouraging to me.  Her faith was obvious in the way the she lived and interacted with others.  What a joy it was to have had her in our parish for so many years!  May the Lord comfort you and your family in your sorrow.
