A special thank you to those at Agrace Hospice who cared for Jean in the last year of her life and to Jenny, her wonderful caregiver. Together, they allowed Jean to remain at home with her beloved cat, Snowshoe. Please share a memory.

Jean's children were the light of her life. She was a loving, strong and patient mom to her five kids. It's her children's turn to say, "Mom, you've earned your angel's wings."
