Karen a hospital chaplain said a few prayers for Jean with Michael and Beverly sitting by her bedside.  Upon her death Jean requested the playing of her favorite song “The Rose” by Bette Midler.  And, Jean’s final wish was cremation with her ashes returned to Surrey, England.

Jean always did it her way.  Rest in Peace Auntie Jean.
