John, Tim (Mary) and Julia (Ian)
This is one of those occasions when I wished that we lived closer to Ft. Wayne. I cannot express how much I want to be there with you in the coming days…to celebrate Jean’s life. I will always remember her smile and her God given ability to make people feel warm and welcome. And I have always admired her strong passion and conviction for championing conservative causes and a knack to see through the baloney and hypocrisy in the world.
I have fond memories of stopping through Ft. Wayne on my way to Purdue, and of course the summers at the lake. And still picture my dad’s older sister taking the “summer off” when she was a young girl, watching all of the other kids play and swim, while she rest and recover.
On behalf of Barb and the rest of my gang, we wish you our heartfelt condolences, and again wish that we could be there. God Bless!
Doug, Barb, Jacob, Thomas, Marissa, Andrew
