Denise Seriani wrote a sympathy message

“I met Jean about 20 years ago through the knitting guild at the library right after I moved to Chesapeake . We became good friends and she definitely was a mentor to me. We had knitting and gardening in common. She will hold a special place in my heart and will be greatly missed. I am truly sorry for the loss of your Mother and Grandmother.”
