Chief, Sonny, Frank, and family members, I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Jean was a special and unique person. When I met her in my teens she always had a way of making you feel like family. She was always friendly and caring to others and will be missed. I can only hope she is in a better place now and waiting for the rest of us. Rest in peace Mrs. Jean.
