I was so very sorry to learn of Jean's passing. Anyone who knew her knows there will never be another like her. Jean was a women whose amazing energy and big heart was unmatched. From the time I was just older than a toddler, big enough to cross the street from our house to hers up until the last time we met, she would welcome me with loving arms, insist on feeding me, talk and talk. I fell in love with her over and over again any time I could visit her. She brought me great comfort and wisdom at some of my life's most painful times. It was impossible to be around her and not lift your spirit! She never judged me; she taught me acceptance, and she never spoke through rose-colored glasses, which I greatly appreciated. I've felt my entire life she was looking out for me, even after living so far away in Florida now for over 50 years. Once or twice a year I would be happily surprised with a phone call from Jean to light up my day. I am sorely going to miss those calls. I can still see her big smile, throwing up her hands in joy with a little squeal. As she leaves us now, she leaves with us her legacy and essence in her children. Barb, I see so much of her in you, especially your huge heart that I am so very blessed to be a part of. No words can ever really ease your pain, but know that I am here for you, if there is anything I can do. I will remember her and miss her the rest of my life. I am comforted that she is reunited with Lorne. My love and deepest condolences to all of your family. Love, Beck
