Miss Jean was a special friend of my mother-in-law, Mary Valorz. Mary and Jean were a few of "The Golden Girls" back in the days when they all attended Maple Grove Christian Church. They had so much fun together, going to lunch and shopping. Jean was/is very special to Mary. Their friendship was special. Blessings to all of Jean's family.
