So sorry to hear of the recent passing of your Mother. I was fortunate to get to know her when she was at the Villa. Jean was one of my Mom’s eating partners at meal time. She was a very sweet woman who never complained of anything. I enjoyed to help her out at meals when I would be feeding my Mom. She had such a cute sense of humor and so friendly. She will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as all of your family.
