  7. So sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. Just recently I found the funeral home information from her Mother’s funeral (Gracie Mansfield) in one of my dresser drawers and got to wondering about Jean. I knew Jean from when her mother and her watched my oldest son (now 31) at their house daycare in the mid 90’s. I always enjoyed talking with her at pickup.
    Prayers for your family during this difficult time.

    Sam and Janet Reid
