I remember Jean from 1960-1961 when we were both posted at Fort Jackson SC. We had a mutual friend there, Evaline Baker, a nurse in the Army. The three of us were close buddies during that time and enjoyed all sorts of adventures together. RIP Jean. - Bob Brosius

Lovely lady invited me in when she was thinking of selling. As a local realtor taught by the Dominican Sisters of St Dominic we spoke of the days when life was different. May she Rest In Peace .

I had Ms. Metallo for 6th grade at Birch Lane. She was a wonderful teacher and one of the teachers who had the greatest impact on me. She was a compassionate woman of great faith who loved her students.

Jean will always be "Sister Tomasine" to me and I told her that whenever we spoke. She'd laugh and say, "whatever makes you happy."
She was my 7th grade teacher (1958) at All Saints, Brooklyn. She was tough...yet, she was everyone's favorite. She would take me shopping with her and always had a Hershey bar in the glove compartment, which she kindly gave to me ("to put some meat on my bones").
She had the most beautiful smile and her face lit up when she attended the All Saints reunions over the last fifteen years. She could not attend the last one, for health reasons, but she sent a beautiful message, which was read to the alumni. She said she was proud that her "kids" kept in touch.
She lived a full life, serving God, her country and teaching, which, along with opera, was her passion until the end.
We last saw Jean in December, when we visited her at her lovely Florida home. She looked wonderful and happy. When we were leaving, she asked me to remember her in my prayers.
Sister Tomasine, you will always be loved, forever missed and never forgotten. You touch so many lives.

Jean was my 2nd and 7th grade teacher at All Saints as Sister Tomasine. She taught me -- she taught ALL of us to work, to believe, to help and support, and most of all to love. In these later years we shared a love for animals: she told me she saw God's pure and selfless love in them.
Pray for us to help us find our way to heaven, Jean ... and be there to greet us when we arrive!
I can't make it to NY in time for the funeral, but I will offer Mass for you ... and with you ... here. Love. Alan Placa.

Sister Tomasine was my 7th Grade teacher at All Saints Elementary School in Brooklyn, NY. To my fellow classmates of 1957, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of one of our most devoted mentors and biggest fans. In her own way she was a renaissance woman who taught us well about life and God. Religion was her guide but wisdom was her tool. Who could get more out of you than her? Prodding us to do better than we thought we were capable of ..... without us even knowing she was pushing us beyond our limits. She acted tough, but she was the gentlest of souls. We all profited from her teaching and gained character through her confidence in us and our abilities. She will be sorely missed, but we should take comfort in knowing that a small part of her lives on in each one of us from the lessons that she taught and the friendship that she gave.
In my heart she is my own "Mother Teresa." May she rest in peace knowing that her just reward is the Kingdom of God in Heaven.
Let's us all take a brief moment to grieve her passing, then spend the rest of our time remembering the joy of her being.
Sincerely,
Bernie Panto
P.S. Below is a short poem I dedicate to her memory.
In Bright White Light
When suddenly the flame that glowed,
So brightly in the night,
Flickered softly in the wind and breathed
One loving last bright light.
The world lost its way just briefly
And gently sighed and wept.
Then fluttered strong again
With the memory that it kept.
Of one so loved and caring
Filled with charity so pure.
A soul whose heart in bright white light
Will shine at Heaven’s door.

Bob and I are so Sadden with the passing of Jean. She was my teacher in grade school at All Saints, Brooklyn NY. We become friends in later years and she loved talking on the phone. Jean loved our packages of Tea & cookies we would send her. and loved seeing pictures of my Grandchildren, which she always told me , they looked like me. Thank you Jean, for being such a warm person and always had time to listen . We will miss you.
