Dear Carol and Jeff and family. I am saddened by Mrs. Liebman's passing. She was such a terrific, smart, jovial, social and loving person. I was so lucky to spend time with her over the last 11 years at shabbat and yom tov dinners, backyard BBQ's and running into her at her beloved Walmart. She always had a smile on her face, loved to kibbitz and with a ready hug for you. I will miss her wisdom and life knowledge. My deepest condolences.

Dear Carol and Jeff, my deepest sympathy to you both. I enjoyed many conversations with Jean over the last few COVID years. It was especially wonderful to hear her stories of the past and I learn about her experiences through her life. She was a devoted friend to my mom and my grandmother Bella. I will sincerely miss our connection and her always joyful conversations. She always spoke so lovingly about her children and grandchildren. She was so proud of you all.

Dear Jeff and Carol I was saddened to read that your Mother had passed away. As a teenager I had a summer job in the Sociology Dept at York University. I reported to her.. That was the beginning of a relationship that lasted 50 years. We had many laughs and would share what was going on in our lives. She was always thrilled to see me. She greeted everyone with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. She will be missed. My deepest condolences.

Jeff, Rhonda and family. Stan and I are so sorry to hear about your mom. We first met her in Cleveland when you were in school. She was so warm and caring. The next time I met her was at Walmart, where we would have great talks about books, puzzles and life in general. During one of these conversations I realized she was Jeff’s sweet mother. She remembered Stan from all those years ago. She was so proud of her kids and grandkids. She will be missed.

People often say that you can't keep everyone happy, but that was not true with Jean. She was the nicest lady that I ever met, and there is no single soul that didn't like her. She kept everyone happy. Any day of the week If I ask her how her day was going on, her reply would always be, "Ohh it's going great. How about you? How was your weekend?" Always a smiling face. I can't express the loss that everyone especially her family has suffered today. I feel sorry for them, but I hope the best for them!
