To the family of Jean Clarke-Maclean

Dear Friends:

The death of Jean who was so important to our parish of St. Peter's, Mount Royal makes us both sad and proud. George Clarke and Jim Maclean were missed greatly when they died and Jean carried on in the traditions, dedication and work.

You are justifiably proud and we send you our sympathy.

Our condolences go out to Jean's children. We have many happy memories of times together with Jean and George, who was the cousin of our mother, Dorothy Morrell Pradl. These connections and ties kept the Montreal side of our family firmly in mind. She certainly led a vibrant and inspirational life!

Celebrating a wonderful life! I have many happy memories of visiting Jean and George and their young children in the Town of Mt. Royal with my mother, Dorothy Morrell Pradl. I knew Jean had remarried after George died and enjoyed a very happy marriage and an extended new family. Jean brought great joy and happiness to everyone around her and many happy memories for me. My condolences to all her family.
