I’m so sad to hear about Grama Jean passing. She will be missed, I always looked forward to seeing Jean as we always had a nice chat and a few laughs. She will live on in our memories and our hearts.
Our deepest sympathy to gramma Jean’s family she was an amazing lady who touched many lives my family will cherish the memories we have of her huggs to you all.
Although it was way too short, I am grateful to have met you. You were a wonderful friend and a great neighbour.
Gramma Jean was such a kind, funny and full of life lady! MarieLynn and I cleaned for her when she lived at home. She loved her flowers and her fish in the backyard. She would tap a rock against the side of the fish pond…and the fish would swim over to her! Her 90th birthday with Elvis was quite a memory! She was amazing! A true supporter for the boys and girls club!
RIP Gramma Jean! Xoxo
