Jean and Ray were wonderful neighbors. We are sorry to learn of her passing. I will always remember her running around the block, sharing goodies and hugs, finding out about our day. I remember her at Walmart but her Dillards day were the funniest. I think she bought more than she made & had a whole bedroom to keep it in. Come see what I got, you need one. Jean's green beans were the best. she was just a loving, fun person. We are thinking of you all.
