Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
To Jean’s entire family our deepest condolences. She was a wonderful neighbor, one of the first to welcome us when we moved to North Adams. She was kind, always with a smile and a hello. We will miss hearing her laugh cascading down from her porch and down the street on warm evenings and seeing her out in her gardens.

I truly can't convey how deeply I'll feel your absence. Our weekly adventures and little getaways brought me so much happiness. The chats about pets, the thrill of finding great deals, and those unplanned road trips wont be the same without you by my side. Your smile, laugh, and our time together will always be remembered.

Your dear friend, Anne
