Dear Johnny & family - I did not know your mom but I do know through knowing Johnny that she was a wonderful mom and a great person. She raised good children too. I cannot attend the services but will be thinking of you all as you go through this time of sadness losing her. So hard to lose a mom...

Dear Family of Jean Ryan, We knew Jean through Patrice Wessel Elaqua and saw her at many of the Wessel events. Being a nurse myself I had a bond with her as we nurses often do. I know what a dear and loving friend she was to Patrice and her family. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. We send our condolences to all of you. Sincerely, Jane and Bob Mullen. (Tom,s dad was married to jane,s mother, Leona.)

Jean was one of a kind! She was always smiling and had such a wonderful sense of humor. She was never shy about sharing her opinions on life, religion or politics! Jean was dearly loved, as was Jack, and will be missed by so many. She is now at peace and has moved on to her heavenly journey with Jack. I know that your memories will bring you through the loss of your Mom/Gramma. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
