"I have many fond memories of Jean. Her daughter Jills friends called her Mom Jean. She was like a second mom to us. She fed us and let us stay at the Schultz home a lot with open arms. She will be forever remembered and loved. Heaven gained another angel for sure."

"Jean and I were very best friends at Soldier High School. We always stayed in town(we both lived on farms) on basketball game nights and eat 1/2 roast beef sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy at the local restaurant, can't remember the name of it now.
