    Dear Elaine, Bonnie, George and family, Words can never express how sorry I am for the loss of your Mother. Jean and your Father were such a big part of our growing up years and leave lasting and cherished memories of all the times they spent with my Parents. I still can clearly picture our mothers together in the kitchens on Lincoln Road. All though things will never be the same I hope you find lots of comfort from all the heartfelt condolences and memories friends and family will share with you. With Sympathy and Love, Susan (Sprague) DiRenzo

    Bonnie, Elaine, and George, My family and I are so sorry about your Mom's passing. She and your Dad were my parents' closest and best friends. A great source of comfort is knowing they are now altogether at rest. Who knows, maybe they are reminiscing and playing cards right now, of course with some chicken gizzards as an appetizer. I was so happy you called me and I had that one last visit with her. It was such a peaceful and calm visit. I hope you all had that tea party with her after I left. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during these most difficult days ahead. All our love!

    I will always remember how welcomed I felt on those weekend nights when we had sleep overs. I loved listening to all of the old stories! I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to talk with your Mum a few weeks before her passing. My prayers will continue to all of you! Karen Wotton

    I grew up on Lincoln Road across the street from Jean and her family. We sold our house and moved away for many years, until about 8 yrs ago when I moved back on Lincoln Road. Every so often Jean would be driving by the house and she would stop to talk to me, sharing any new news or just to say hello! Loved her smile and her friendly personality. Having grown up next door we were always sharing some sort of memory. I had been away on vacation and just read of Jeans passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. She is going to be missed.
