I found Jean to be comforting to speak with despite her late life medical issues. I enjoyed my time with her and helping the family as I could.
I glad I was able to meet and spend some time with her. She was a pleasure to be around.
Jeanie was so special to me.. She loved my uncle Sam but she was more a friend. She accepted me with all my mental health issues & never judged & when we were able to get together it was the happiest time of my life. Oh dear sweet Jeanie my heart aches for you. I know you went through a lot at the end & I’m sorry I was physically unable to see you more. I can’t wait to join you soon. Love you with all my heart Karen Padecky 💔
