What a warm and wonderful person Jean was. We visited her last Feb. just before Covid hit. She loved the Watson Home and all those who cared for her. So sorry for your loss with many thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you all.
Jean was a wonderful person. She and Lee were good friends of my parents and they’d go out to dinner every year as they shared the same anniversary. My condolences to Becky, Bonnie, Ben, and the extended family.
