Rod
Condolences on the loss of Jean – you must feel like you lost her too soon. It has been a long time since I have seen you and Jean (it was probably at a funeral home). Jean and I are second cousins through the Hill connection – My mother and Jean’s mother were first cousins and good friends – Jean grandfather, Norman and mine, Charles were brothers. I have good memories of Jean growing up – aways friendly and kind. Her and her brother Jim were active members of the Nobleton community. You pulled away to Schomberg and it was Nobleton’s loss. No doubt she will be deeply missed by your family but she will also be missed by the broader communities she touched.
Doug and Shirley Mclean says
I believe that tears can heal,
That memories can comfort,
and that loves lives on forever.
Dearest friend, Jean, I’m so glad we had our times together.
