Jean was a caring and kind person during our high school years. I had not seen her since. I send my heart-felt sympathy to her family and friends.

Jean went to Jefferson Elementary School. She was very quiet, but pleasant, and I recall that she didn't interact alot with her classmates. I did visit her home once or twice. She lived in a tiny house that was located on an alley about 2 blocks from my house. She and her brother slept on bunk beds in small room off the living room. The house, although almost invisible on the outside, was spotlessly clean and neat as a pin on the inside. On one of my visits to Moline within the last couple years, I drove down that alley to see if the little house was still there. It wasn't.

Everyone remembers her smile. I remember her smile also.
She was always so friendly. I had a few classes with her and she was a lot of fun to be around.
