Not sure what to say?

Dear Canepa's family,
I am really late since I didn't know Jean passed away until recently. I live on Lovell and had the pleasure of visiting her beloved garden. She offered few plants to me when she sold the house and I treasure them in my garden.

In gratitude,

Dear family,


I got to know your mother and dad on our fabulous hiking trips to Italy with Mario.
They were seasoned when I started 8 or 9 years ago. In Italy on their 50th wedding anniversary we placed the beautiful brass plaque for their anniversary on a giant tree where we were staying..

I watched Jean on her hands and knees examining a flower and Jim would take the picture. Jean loved bird watching as well, lots of different fauna and flora in Italy for Jean.to check...

Lisa, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. You and I were friends many years ago when I was Tracy Bell Miller. I walked by your Mom's Tennis Garden a few times a week and always liked to see what had changed. I hope you are well and all the kids are in high school or off to college.
Take care and knwo I am thinking about you,

Tracy

Jean personified grace and made hard tasks appear easy. She managed the book store with velvet gloves and won the respect of everyone she interacted with.

I so enjoyed working with Jean as part of the Friends of the Mill Valley Library. She always had a smile and good word for all. We miss her energy and enthusiasm.
My condolences to her family.
