Liz,
I am so sorry about your Mother. I know Saturday was very hard for you and I hope I helped a little. Loosing your Mother is never easy. Remember the good times with her and keep them in your heart.
Laura, Dan, Casey and Lora Lee, I am sorry for your loss. I didn’t get a chance to see you on Saturday to tell you how sorry I was. My parents and the Gibbs, of course the Huey’s and Phillips were friends and the circle is so small now. I know it is hard, but try to remember she is at peace now.

I am so very sorry to learn of your mother’s passing….. I really enjoyed her and her sense of humor. She will be missed. <3
Dear Liz, Casey and Laura,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Jean was a wonderful person. I remember when my mother was not well and your mother immediately stepped right up and helped me shop for the beginning of the school year. I still remember what we bought, plaid kilted skirts with brass pins!
I will always remember that, as well as her amazing sense of humor.
Liz
Jo-Ann and I offer our condolences. We had many a fine, and usually funny, conversations with Jean at Chautauqua.

Many fond childhood memories walking through her front yard at the lake, with Jean knitting in her chaise lounge, commenting that she was going to charge me toll. My condolences.
So sorry to hear of Aunt Jeans passing. I have many fond memories of her while visiting you all at the lake and at your home in Warren. She will be missed and remembered.
Liz, Casey, and Laura,
Our sincere condolences from the Henningers to you all. Jean will be remembered as a warm, friendly and humorous person who always had a smile and open heart. She has left our world and as such will be missed. But the memories that she left with us all will be the treasure of her life and moments with us. Remember the good times and it will put a smile on your face.
God bless you all.
John, Sandy, Lora and Julie Henninger
