she got married to Ramon and they had three (3) children together.  But
unfortunately, as time passed by, their relationship began to drift apart so they
decided to separate.

For 17 years, Jean continued working as a professional singer in different

singing voice!  It was when she finally discovered God that she found the true
meaning of life and its real worth.
