Not sure what to say?

Fall has come to New England and my family will go to pick the apples soon. A few years ago, Jean can with us to the apple orchard in Massachusetts. I am Christina’s husband; Christina is Jean’s niece.

My side of the family has been going to the same orchard in Massachusetts for over 10 years; it’s a family tradition that we all look forward too. We pick apples and have a picnic with cheese and wine. Jean fit right in that day. It was a beautiful New England fall day when...

I am grateful for the opportunity to have known Jean. She was one of the most alive persons I've ever met. Her love of life and her capacity to embody that love in her art and social involvement were inspirational. Jean, I salute you for a life well lived. Goodbye.

Wow, what a life that Jean had! She was so unique, so wonderful and so special to our Tuttle family. I have fond memories of Jean entertaining our family in Arizona as well as summers in San Diego at Ocean Beach. I grew up with her paintings in my childhood home that still hang with vibrant colors in my mother's home. I was the recipient of one of her paintings for my wedding gift and I treasure it today.

I wish I could have met Jean. My sympathy goes to her family.

What a full life! I too remember fondly times at Jean's home in Phoenix, her art and her donations of tea parties (and the beautiful certificates that went with them) for the VRTFCA silent auctions. Our thoughts are with Jean's family.

Loving condolences to Jean's family. I remember our trip to Central America in the 80's and her wonderful involvement with Sanctuary. Jean, Rest in Peace.

Her artistic talents were so many and she contributed so much to many peace and justice works with her artwork. I especially loved having tea...
