So sorry to hear of Jean's passing. She was my cousin and we grew up in Philadelphia, Pa. Glad Lou and I got to visit with her and Jerry in Rapid City. And that they were able to visit us in Florida. Always enjoyed when we could talk on the phone. Now you are with the Angels and in no more pain. I love you. Sending prayers to Jerry and family. - Posted by Suzanne Warren on March 22, 2023
