Memories of my years as Jean's pastor are filled with happy smiles,strong faith, deep thoughts, sharp opinions and an overall recollection of joy. What a gift she was. May her memory be cherished and her gifts applauded.

I can remember how Howard's voice sounded when he spoke about Jean. "Brown", he called her. He was just crazy about this woman. They've never been apart yet they've been apart much too long. Howard, I believe this reunion calls for one exceptionally dry martini. My sympathies to the Franck family.
