Jean was deeply committed to her causes. She walked with dignity and certainty there is a better way than the recourse of war and inevitability of social injustice. It was a privilege to have known her and work with her.

Jean was a rare soul, amazing in her commitment to educating and raising awareness of living in peace, love and compassion. She had the kindest heart and shared her love of nature's plants and wild animals with anyone who would visit her homes. It was a pleasure and inspiring to know her, my Peace friend.
