Although we haven’t seen you for so many years, we remember how your love of flying was influencing your life.
Our prayers are with you and your family.

Bill and Family, Lori and I just became aware of Jean's passing and are deeply saddened. We have many memories of Jean and you at your Restaurant, which one of us frequented almost daily, not to mention weekends, your Boccia tournaments and Bridge with Jean and the Ladies. ALS has touched our family as well. Our deepest respect and condolences. Sergio and Lorraine Spisani.

So very sad to hear of Jean’s passing. Although she was diagnosed with a severe illness, she was always so gracious, never complaining, and an amazing human being. We truly enjoyed her and Bill’s visits to Collingwood with other friends. So very blessed to have had her in our lives. Condolences to Bill and family. Aggie and Al Davidson

Please accept my deepest condolences. I got to know Jean many years ago when she volunteered at St Joseph's Hospital. She spent a lot of time with a very challenging person. She was so good to her, she had a heart of gold. Hoping the wonderful memories you have of Jean give you comfort during this difficult time.

We were so sad to hear of the passing of Jean.
The obituary makes reference to her sewing talent. I have seen first hand the many sewing talents Jean had.
She was a special customer and student of ours here at RB Fabrics. She took every class she could and always produced the most beautiful projects. She was a natural and her attention to detail was impeccable.
We will greatly miss her and her amazing smile and positive attitude. Our deepest condolences to the whole family.
Sincerely Liz & Rick and the staff at RB Fabrics.

Jean was a very special person. Every time you walked into a room , she would always me out by name. She always had a smile on her and would bring one to whoever she talked to.
She was a very good teacher and was my teacher at Ursuline College the Pines. She taught me many things. Then after 40 years when I started going to the Foot Clinic , she welcomed me by my first name.
She will be sadly missed ,but welcomed in Heaven with open arms by all the angels.
