  1. Dear Helen and Linda,
    I am sorry for your loss…I am sorry for my loss…what a dear friend your Mom was to everyone, and how much enjoyment in life that we shared with her and your dad. There isn’t room here to express each wonderful memory, but please know that each memory is a treasure. Our families have known a “special” friendship through the years because of our parents and the kindnesses they shared with each other.
    The world is a better place because Jean was here and her love and Christianity flowed from her very being any time we were in her presence.
    I’m sure the Coronation Club has welcmed her with open arms…they have waited a long time for her to join them to sew once again.
    Her example can be our guide as we continue our own journey on earth. My best to all of you.
