    Whenever I needed help or had a question no one else could answer at Daytona State, Jean was always there to help and always had the answer. She was one of the best managers I ever met, and she gladly shared her wisdom. Her goodness is still in my heart, and the delight her artwork gave me is a wonderful and treasured memory. I know she is at peace.
