I remember Jean fondly and had many conversations with her during the time that she was able to attend church; we sat close to each other. I appreciated her sense of humour and imagine that she would have been a good psychiatric nurse. May God comfort her family during this time of loss.

Jean’s family, I am sorry for your loss. Jean was a gentle, sweet lady who spoke fondly of her family. I knew Jean when she lived in her apartment in Zurich. ( I was one of her workers.) We had many conversations and laughs. I met Ruth, and 2 of Jean’s nieces. Cherish your precious memories of Jean. Hugs and prayers, Sue Wilson
