The family thanks Cliff and Judy Konkol, who together with Meals on Wheels, provided support that allowed Jean to stay in her beloved home until the last year of her life. Also, thanks to niece Sharon for visiting Grammy every day at North Crest, as well as the staff at North Crest, especially Cora, Tamara, Casey and Emily, who made a personal connection with Jean.
