Have fond memories of spending time with Aunty Jean and Uncle Les when they lived in Winnipeg. Our deepest sympathies to you all during this difficult time. Deb, Kevin & Catherine - Posted by: Deb Guthrie (Friend) on: Feb 28, 2015

Although my family and myself did not see a lot of Auntie Jean and Uncle Les over the years, she will still be sadly missed. She will remain forever in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. When we visited them in 2007, she couldn't do enough for us and without her tenaciousness I doubt we would have got our delayed luggage back so quickly. She was a lovely lady with a dry sense of humour. May she rest in peace. Love from Cathy, Gary and Family xxxxxxx - Posted by: Catherine Marsden (Niece) on: Feb 27, 2015

I worked with Jean many years ago for Southland... Jean was a remarkable woman, with a great sense of humor. And an accent you could listen to for hours... She loved to talk about Les and the kids...she was so proud of her children. She will be missed.... My thoughts are with her family....Rest in peace Jean - Posted by: Diana Mucha (Saunders) (Co-Worker) on: Feb 26, 2015
