Jean introduced me to her Mom & Dad a few years ago, I brought a chocolate cake that she liked. Mary would ask about Jean’s “little friend”after that visit. I loved it that Mary thought I was little. We shared a fondness for 🐓 and she liked the chicken chime I gave her. Mary, Rest In Peace. You helped raise some wonderful children, it was an honor to know you. Your memory will live on and on. Loving prayers, Jean’s little friend, Ginger.
