Dear Aunt Jean,
When I think of you, I remember your warm and welcoming smile. I always enjoyed talking to you when we visited. Your kind personality made it easy for me to open up to you and talk about things. Your love for teaching inspired me to go into education. It brings tears to my eyes writing this because I know how much you are missed and loved. Whether you know it or not, you impacted the lives of everyone who knew you. I'm so thankful to have been able to know you myself. We all miss and love you dearly.

Aunt Jean,
My favorite memories of you are from my visits to California. You were always there with a hug and a good listening ear. I was always amazed with the little details that you could remember about what was happening in my life. You always cared. I really loved that about you. Everyone misses you so so much. I guess God takes all the good people early. I know you are making heaven a nicer place. You were an amazing person Aunt Jean! I feel so blessed to have had the chance to know you. I keep a picture of you on my nightstand and it reminds me to cherish my loved ones and enjoy every day I have. I love you. I miss you.

The photos on the Guest Book Website are just wonderful of you, Jean, and it is difficult to believe that so much time has passed since you were with us. I remember with fondness our time in Christchurch, New Zealand when we were neighbours and would have coffee in each others homes. Thinking of you all. Love Miriam and Roger Nicholls (UK)

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you, wishing Oh, wishing everything was different. As I promised you in the hospital we are taking that Alaska Cruise. We were suppose to all go last September but for obvious reasons we postponed but in a way you will be going with us anyway. All the things I remember from our childhood through adulthood cannot be removed from our hearts or our minds. Though we often fought as children and occasionally as adults we were and are sisters! You, Mom and Dad have paved the way and eventually we will see you again on the other side. Love, Judy and Mike

Jean is remembered as a person always thinking of and doing for others. I was privileged to know her as a teacher assistant in our La Mesa-Spring Valley School District's Preschool Program. She was always there for her students, giving extra time in preparation, working with her lead teacher and delivering reports and paper work to our preschool office.
Her presence is missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Jim & Jeremy,
It was a privilege to know Jean.Even if
I have known her only for such a short time I feel like I have known her forever. She was such a caring and generous person. She and I worked together
always cooperatively and with such dedication and for the best interest of our students. Our phone conversations were always lenghty.She often talked about her dad , her mom especially about
you Jeremy and Jim. She was such
a good listener. I miss her dearly.Please know that you are always in our prayers. Love, Purity

I have thought about Jean over the past year and miss her dearly. It is hard when you lose a friend. Many of her helpful touches still show up at the home school where we worked togehter for many years. Jean was a happy, positive person, who always tried to do the right thing. She loved her family and friends, getting her hair done and walking around La Mesa! I always smile when I think about her.

Dear Jean;
The year that you have been gone went by slowly for Jim. It simply "went by" for the rest of us who were a smaller part of your life. Special wife, special mother, special sister (in-Law) and friend. We shall never forget you. Love, Sherry
April 27, 2011
Jim and Jeremy, What can we say ! You know how much we loved your Jean ! She was truly an inspiration to all who knew her. What a positive attitude she carried throughout her life. She was always doing something for someone else, and in this day and age, that is truly a wonderful trait to have. We miss her, too. She touched so many lives and of that you should be very, very proud. Ed and Patty

Jean Evans- I'm proud to call her my friend (my first and only adult girlfriend). I had always found it difficult to befriend other women, but Jean made it easy- so friendly and sincere- a genuine human being.
I was devastated to hear of her passing....her phone calls always put a smile on my face. I felt like I could tell her anything! Her positive outlook on life was contagious; even when I was feeling so depressed after my husband Larry died. She was so supportive and kind, knowing I had lost my best friend. Because Jean always said her husband Jim meant everything to her, I will always be there to support him and we can keep Jean's memory alive.
Love, Devorah Warsalla

Jean was a very special person. I know how much she loved the children she worked with and how much they loved her. The students never forgot her, always asking about her and asking when she will be back in the classroom. I to will never forget Jean and our long talks we had about work and life. I’m also going to miss our lunch dates we had. Jean you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Jim and Jeremy, I’m sorry for your loss but she will always be watching over you.
Love

Jean was a lady like no other and was so welcoming to me when I first started to work with her in the preschool department at Rancho Elementary. Jean took me under her wing and taught me not just how to get to the end of each day but to pour your heart and soul into what you do. Jean interacted with the children in a way that was so beautiful and I miss being around her energy. In later days, Jean was my mentor of life advice especially when it came to being strong as I would become a military wife like she so proudly was. Her tales of how she got through Jim being away and how she made the best of their time living in New Zealand was really inspiring to me.
I already miss our lunch date catch ups at Cocos and hearing all about the fun movies, treatment updates, and kitchen remodels that you were going through since I last saw you.
Jim and Jeremy, I think of you both constantly and can only imagine your pain you are facing. You are not alone.
Jean, you were such an inspirational and strong woman, and you taught us all to fight until the end!
I hope to join you at the Coco's lunch table in the sky.
I miss you.

Jean was a wonderful gal. I loved working with her at HIS for our first 5 years. I loved watching Jean fight the entire Grossmont School District becasue she felt it was best for her son Jeremy. I loved watching the beautiful love story between her and Jim. I loved how Jean shared her talents of sewing and friendship with each of us at HIS. I loved Jean becasue she was real and true. A great friend and person, I will miss her.

I shall miss the long distance, long chatty phone conversations with one of my dearest sister-in-law(s). Ever thoughtful and kind she remembered birthdays, special occassions and holidays. My visits to San Diego were always packed with places to see and things to do, Jean certainly loved living! I shall keep her in my heart as the inspiration and example of how to be what we Hawaiians call PONO. A trait that keeps one true and righteous in thought and deed. She is the sister I shall miss but never forget. Know that she is forever in my heart, Jim and Jeremy.
Sisters forever

As i grew she watched
as i learned when i fell she was never to far
as i started school she taught me family was all i needed

As i turn a senior in high school we discovered her cancer but threw it all she was still like a 2nd mom strong and fearless before i knew could blink an eye the call i feared came.. the evans family will never be the same as i turned 18 i have decided i will be strong and fearless someday like my auntie was until her last breath was gone . i know our HAS HER IN HIS ARMS my prayer for our family is no more tears no more pain i know for her but for us who are left here a part of heart is missing and hurting and wishing we could see her face so bad .. knowing that she has gone to her lord and savior and one day we will join her in the heavenly kingdom and so i say with tear fulled eyes let her go cry no more rejoice for we know the lord is with us until our last breath then we will be with him and her .
My favorite uncle

I was shocked to see the notice of Jean's passing.We worked together at Rancho Elem. a few years ago. We worked with the pre-school special education students. We were friends the first day because we were almost the same age and I had a daughter with special needs that was around the same age as Jeremy. Iam sad for you and your family. Iam also sad for all the children who will not receive all the care and LOVE that Jean could of given them.

Jean,
I am writing this to you. Because my hope is that you are looking down on us holding our hand, hugging us, hearing us talking to you on the phone, and also hear us talk to you and saying darn it I miss you so much.
Give us your love, support and encouragement from heaven just like you did hear on this earth.
Thank you for never divorcing me, helping me raise our Beautiful Katlin and always being my sounding board. I could talk to you for hours until my ear was sore and my elbow hurt. You know how I felt because We always said that.
Thank you for laying on the bed and talking to me and holding my hand even when you were fighting the terrible cancer. I felt your strength and love coming through the Palm of your hand.
We are sisters forever even though you are not here physically you are forever in my thoughts and in my memories.
Don't worry about Jeremy he is doing fine, and well as for Jim I will do my best to keep my eye on him.
I love you so much!!!

Jean was a wonderful warm person and I always considered her to be a close and beloved friend. We lost touch with one another over the past years but I will always have fond memories of our times spent together. My sincere best wishes go out to Jim and Jeremy at this time. Jean lived a full and wonderful life. She never let her problems get her down. She is now with her mother, father and sister. God bless us all until we can see each other again. Goodbye beloved friend. I miss you and love you.
