I was sorry to learn of the death of Jean. She and her husband became good friends when I was the associate pastor at the Cathedral. My prayers are going up for her, and for all in the family and her friends. - Fr. Leon Flaherty, C.PP.S.

Aunt Jean was a treasure. She always seemed in good spirits and had a very easy laugh. I remember Aunt Jean and Uncle Lloyd taking us to Disneyland when I was about six and I think they had more fun than the kids. I will miss Aunt Jean but she is in a better place now with Lloyd, Goldie and the rest of her family. Rest in Peace and God Bless. Dave Irgens

Jean and Lloyd were wonderful neighbors in their Central Park days of the late 60's and early 70's. Lots of fun. We miss Goldie, too. Ron Engstrom, Tulsa, OK.
