Dear Cousins and Aunt Betty, and Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren of Aunt Jean:
My childhood was much more fun with Aunt Jean and Uncle Lew and you wonderful cousins in it. Aunt Jean and Aunt Helen each gave me a bridal shower, and they were such terrific hostesses and cooks! I loved Aunt Jean's forthright way of saying what was on her mind. She was a wonderful sister to my mother especially, and our families were very close. Weeks in Kippewa on the Vaillaincourt's island were some of the best summers I remember. Of course, Uncle Lew and his big, hearty laugh was a wonderful partner to feisty Aunt Jean.
I will miss Aunt Jean, but know she has a beautiful spirit that lives on in all of us.
Love,
Sharon
