Dear Sue,

I am sorry to be so late with  this memorial. Unfortunately we had several deaths in our family near and after Jean death. The lat time I saw her were  both  getting blood work at the center in Paramus. I was so sorry to hear that her cancer had  reoccurred. I thought about her  many times thereafter and prayed for her recovery. My three sisters  had breast cancer and one died. I remember the worry and grief  it caused  my family.  I will pray for you and your family that your grief will be softened by your wonderful  memories and pride  you share in those memories of your beloved Jean. May she rest in peace in the arms of your wonderful  parents. 

Peace and Love to you and the boys ,

Anne Skkau

I am so very sorry to learn of Jean’s passing.  I met Jean during the turbulent times surrounding the Common Core Curriculum and PARCC/standardized testing.  Our paths would cross in Trenton and all around the state of NJ as she would testify for common sense in educational practices.  I knew her to be a passionate fighter and advocate for children and parental rights within the educational system.  We may not have agreed on all topics regarding education but she was always willing to listen to everyone and fight along side those she might not have completely agreed with but understood cooperation was the key to winning the “fight”.  She was a compassionate, fair minded, and generous person who left this earth way too soon.

My thoughts & heartfelt prayers are with her family & friends.  I pray her memory may be for a blessing and that you may find some solace in the outpouring of love from those whose lives she touched in such a positive way.  RIP Jean and fly free without pain.
