She was the best and the brightest. Her spoken and written words were welcomed by all. To say that she will be missed is an understatement by gargantuan poportions.

Jean Cryor was a wonderful advocate for Montgomery County, as a House of Delagate representative, and a member of the planning board. A thoughtful legislator who approached politics from a reasonable perspective and common sense approach. Her knowledge and experience will be missed greatly.

What a loss for all of Maryland, but especially for her wonderful family and dear friends. Jean Cryor was one of the few leaders who genuinely wanted to hear and understand what every person thought and what their experiences were, and who spent time deliberately and diligently analyzing all of the contributing factors of an issue and worked toward consensus without a personal or political agenda. Jean was fearless in her fight to protect the Potomac River and passionate about educational opportunities for all to bring Maryland up to a higher standard. Her work on the Thornton Commission was tireless, as was her dedication to relieving families, veterans, and small businesses of the burdensome state taxes that hold back our prosperity.
The many awards presented to Jean were a small testament to her passion for helping others, and no one had a a funnier or more intelligent sense of humor than Jean B. Cryor. Jean's husband Dan was a well known sportscaster on CBS and she was a pioneer in election polling for CBS. Jean loved life and loved living, but perhaps it also made her chuckle to herself knowing that she would be joining Dan on election day. My deepest condolences to her family, friends, neighbors, and constituents.

Thanks for adding your lovely personal tribute. Jean was a woman of grace, intellect, and principle. We will all miss her terribly.
