I’ve known Jean since out daughters were in Bluebirds. We spend many hours together and had many laughs. I am so worry she has passed. One more good friend gone to live with Jesus. RIP Jean.
So sorry for your loss. I loved Jean when she worked for Dr. Taylor in Mount Pleasant. She and my Mother were friends.
We were so blessed to have Jean dance through our lives. Remembering all the good times shared through square dancing. Jean could always make you laugh….John, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
