So sorry to hear of the passing of Gean. I went to school with John and my family and his as well as the Parrish's would get together quite often whether it be at my house or their's. Usually it was for a party, mainly birthday parties. The best memory I have of Gean is the Halloween party that I had at my house. Every time I would see Gean and Don in the store we would always talk about how much fun that party was. It was the best party and I will forever cherish that memory. RIP Gean, you will be missed by many. Tammy (Willis) Gamez

Gean and Don James are some of the sweetest, happiest people to have ever been a presence in my life. I never saw either without a smile and a hug for me. Wishing all who knew and love Gean comfort in this very difficult time.
