I met Grandmother Jean Passante at my son and daughter-in-law's wedding, Angela Haase-McMahon. Our family was so impressed with her grace and beauty. She was such a sweetheart! Our sympathy to John and Linda Haase, Angela, Matthew and Vivian, and all of Jean;s children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was indeed a very special person. We are glad that we had the opportunity to enjoy such a happy occasion with her!
