"To the family of Jean Stampka. Your mother was a most special person in my life going all the way back to 1972 when I met she and your dad at a dance probably at the Acorn in Centerville. Later she became my Amway customer and I so enjoyed spending time with her on a regular basis as well as when I\'d shop at Spurgeons. Her contagious smile, loving words of kindness and twinkle in her eyes conveyed in her beautiful photo is how she\'ll always be remembered, and treasured. May God bless all of you with peace as you mourn her loss. With sympathy. Clifton & Sharon. ( Olson ) Kjos "
In loving memory of
Jean G. Stampka
