March 7, 2019 at 5:30 pmJean Van Norman – While she was here on this earth, she was such a sweet, kind, and gentle woman. Although, I am sure there was much more depth to her character, than that of the tea pots with which she collected, or perhaps the daily walks she made through the mall while collecting clothing and friends, as well as the cooking and entertaining she enjoyed. I was blessed to be graced by her witty banter and beautiful, smile. It was my pleasure to spend those few fleeting moments in time with Jean, Vance, and Christopher.
To the family of Jean, I send to you a memories and helaing blessings.
My deepest, and sincerest condolences,
Linni
