Bret, tried calling this morning and didn’t want anymore time to go by without telling you how sorry we are your mom passed away. Truthfully, it’s a blessing knowing how she struggled over the past few years. She is in a much better place and knows again who is Guy and who is Bret. Our thoughts are with you guys.
Brenda and Charlotte, I know the past several years have been heartbreaking watching your mother struggle with this horrible disease. Please know that my memories of her will always be of a woman who cared for and loved her children with her whole being. I know the two of you loved her and wanted nothing but the best for her, especially during these last years. Know that she is now in a better place and is full of the knowledge that you and Charlotte loved her unconditionally. I will never forget the kindness she and your dad always showed me during my teenage years while hanging out at your house. Those are good memories! See you next month when I’m in CR..love you both, Jill
I am very glad that I had the opportunity to know your Mother. She was a nice lady and I have missed not seeing her around like I did for years when I worked for your dad.
Bret, Brenda and Charlotte and families
I was so sorry to read about Jean passing away. I hope that she is at peace now.
Take care of yourselves and keep in touch
Love Lynne and Family
Brenda and Charlotte,
I was so sorry to hear of your mamas’ passing. I have many wonderful memories of spending time chatting in the kitchen with her and your Dad, going up to you land on weekends. Jean was such a warm, welcoming lady. I know you are both grateful and proud to be her daughters. Just know that she is at peace now in Heaven with your Dad, and not in pain anymore. Hold on to the memories and the love she had for you both….
Love you bunches…Jorji
Dear Brenda, Charlotte and Bret: We are so sorry to read the news in the Gazette. I hope the last days on earth were not too hard for Jean. Which would make it even harder for her children. I have great memories of days gone by with both Jean and Guy…and their KIDS..little kids that have grown into wonderful adults that made them very proud. Please know my sympathy goes out to all of you. Hugs…big hugs at this time of your loss. I’m always as close as your phone.

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Jean and I want to express my sincerest sympathy to her family. I came to know Jean during my almost daily visits for two years to the Promise House to see my Mother, Lois Wilson. My Mother passed away in February of this year. I found Jean to be a very kind, gentle and loving person. I am confident these traits were also attributes of Jean even prior to her illness. I enjoyed talking to Jean and really enjoyed it when she would join in my conversations with my Mother. Jean’s quiet and Motherly nature seemed to have a calming and reassuring affect on the other residents, especially my Mother. It was an honor to have known Jean and I wish I could have known her prior to meeting her at The Promise House. Again, my sympathies to her family and friends
I was sadden to hear about the loss of your mother. I worked with her when she drove for Metpath years ago. I remember her great laugh and love of life. She alway had a big smile on her face. My sincere sympathy to your family.
Brenda and Charlotte, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I know you will miss her but she is at peace now and looking over the two of you with such love. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
