The memory of you and your remarkable gifts extends to my sacred space in Cape Coral, Florida in the form of two of your abstract paintings named "Illumination" and "Elf" referring to Robin Goodfellow from "A Midsummer Nights Dream".
Jean Marie... Your eyes reveal the journey of successes and struggles, emotional trials and ever evolving paths. Our discussions always included Vanessa, your evolved daughter, of whom you were so very proud.
You will always be a Light in my eyes and and a meaningful memory of one totally immersed, awakened and attuned with Spirit.
A friend, Patrick

The many memories created during our friendship are always present. You were a joy to share time with. Remembering the many healing treatments shared with you as well as the many viewings I experienced of your masterful artwork and creations.
The "Illumination" painting has been at the center of my healing space for many years enlightening those who are privileged to view it. May you receive the peace that you and your paintings shared with so many. Patrick

Jean was a kind, loving person a light of life. I met Jean while our two children, Jason & Meghan were both battling their illness. We became friends and sadly our children both passed on. A the time we both were in the emerged in our grief and found solace at times with each other. We attended compassionate friends meetings and had lunch together, and thoughts about how to go on in our now new life without our children. She shared with me her artwork and talent also her confidence that we would become stronger women. Jean was a soft spoken women with a loving and giving soul, and expressed herself through her art which helped her with her heart healing. I met her daughter Vanessa, and husband Tom . Vanessa was the most loving little girl, and a also was blessed with a loving nature. I just want to say that Jeans friendship and how we were brought together at our time of need was a true blessing! Our children are at rest in the same place and I visit her son Jason with flowers , when I visit our daughter Meghan.
To her family and loved ones may you find peace in knowing that she will continue to paint, show her love, and just be Jean a truly gift of life and peace!!
