Aunt Jean was such a wonderful joyful fun loving person that it is hard to put into words how privileged I feel to have known her and had her in my life.

Kendall & Family,
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Your mom was just the best! I ran into her and Karen in the old Manor Pharmacy a few years ago – I heard her voice and that wonderful Maine accent and knew who it was even before I saw her. She was such a warm and welcoming person. She will be greatly missed…
