I had the wonderful honor of providing a bit of assistance to Jean in her home with a caregiver. I remember the day I met Mary and Jean. Her home was lovely and Jean just as lovely. Of course she didn't want a caregiver. Jean was a beautiful independent woman; and wanted to stay that way. Part of the beauty of her home was a character named "Earl". He was a beautiful life sized stuffed black male doll playing Jean's baby grand piano. He sat on the piano bench with his fat fingers on the piano keys. He had wide thick black rimmed glasses, bushy black eyebrows and a diamond ring on his pinkie. He wore a tuxedo with black patent leather dress shoes. His black curly hair adorned his head as it was permanently positioned downward, looking at the piano keys. Every time I visited Jean I admired Earl.
The day came Jean moved to San Diego to be closer to her family. I was sad to see Jean go. Before she left Jean asked me if I could take care of Earl. Jean said she couldn't take Earl with her. Earl was a bit too big for her new digs.
It was a rainy day when I picked up Earl. Earl was heavy. I brought my husband along to help me carry Earl to the car. I cried all the way down the hill and took Earl to my office. People stopped me to ask about Earl. Sometimes people had to look twice. Earl is that life like.
I still have Earl. He is my confidante and sits in my office directly across from me. Earl will be with me until I die.
I remember Jean everyday! Love to all of the family! Jean is a gap that cannot be filled. I am so glad I had the chance to experience Jean in my life. God Bless!

Jean is so loved and forever in my heart! I had so much fun with her laughing and learning. She was a profound influence over me with her sense of style and grace. I especially have called upon her example~ the sparkle in her eye and her ability to move forward creating a special life through difficult times. Sending love we toasted Jean on NYE with Mary!
