    Dear Mohan Family, I am so sad about Jean and thinking of you all. I grew up with your family and have so many good memories. We could hardly wait for those delicious holiday dinners, especially after enjoying several pre-holiday libations. I am so glad that I had such a great visit with her this summer. Even though I didn't speak with her often I will miss her. My love and sorrow goes out to you. Love, Andi

    I was so very saddened to hear the news and my prayers and sympathy go out to all of you. She was a great lady and part of a wonderful family that I had the privilege of knowing and sharing memories with for many years. Since Twila's passing over 20 years ago, I would always make her fruitcake recipe and send a loaf to Jean at the holidays. This has been my most favorite holiday tradition and I will miss sharing it with her. Keeping you close in my thoughts during this difficult time. Love, Mary Jane.

    To The Mohan Family, I was deeply saddened upon hearing the loss of Jean. She was a very loving, caring and strong woman. Knowing her as Bobby and Jenna's grandma, she always had good advice on any question I would throw her way when they were babies. I will always remember her wit, determination on anything she did and as a woman that loved her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all today. May God Bless You and Comfort You during this difficult time. Love, Dianna
