    My deepest condolences to all of Jean Otto’s beloved family. Jean and I became friends, through the grace of God, during the darkest time in our lives, the death of our husbands. We deepened our faith together every Sunday at Hope Church and learned to enjoy life despite our loss. She was a gracious, gentle and humble ‘lady’ who adored her children and grandchildren. Trusting in the promises of our Lord, we will worship and sing 8together again.

    To Linda and family-
    I was so sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. A treasure trove of information on her family’s genealogy, she was generous in sharing that information about her Greece pioneers with us at the Greece Historical Society. She will live on forever through that legacy. My deepest condolences to your family.
