Not sure what to say?

Jean was an amazing person, many of my childhood memories are with Jean, from camping, horseback riding and the amazing bread she would bake. Jeans kindness and selflessness touched so many people, you will be missed Jean! Thankyou for all you did for me.

Sad to learn of Jean's passing. I have never forgotten her healing spirit as a bereavement counselor nearly 35 years ago.

I am so grateful that she passed through my life, though as brief as a beautiful comet, a lasting memory.
