Dear Moen family, My sincere sympathy to each of you in the loss of a very special lady. Each Monday when I played the piano for the sing-a-along, "Grandma Jean" was in the front row, sometimes "resting her eyes"! I"ll miss seeing her each week. I will always remember her playing whist and saying "spiel"! Lois MaierGrand Forks, ND 11/29/2010 1:32 PM
