    To the Ring Family, I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. Jean was a wonderful lady, and a true friend. Jean was very easy to talk too. She loved her family and always talked about them with pride. JO,(old hairdresser) and Monte Foglia

    To the Ring family, Your mom was a sweetheart, she always had the biggest smile and a wonderful laugh. I’m sorry it’s not possible to be there today to celebrate her life. I’m sure the gang are all having a great card party up in heaven. Bev Callan Richter
