Was shocked and saddened to learn of Jean's passing. She was a positive influence in my daughter's life, and I also learned a lot from her. Condolences to her family. - Posted by: Linda Pratt (Friend) on: May 07, 2016

My heart is in tears for you at the shock of Jean's unexpected death. She adored you so and loved spending summers with her grandkids, as well as taking so much appreciated time with Shirley chronicling our genealogy. She was strong, self-sufficient, light of heart, full of personality and always, always kind to me. Seanchai will never be forgotten. I think she would have liked this: "Our word for a funeral or burial is altogether lovely. It is tiodhlacadh or 'the gift' - the same word you would use in giving a wedding present to a bride. There is no sorrow in the concept...it is simply the change or the further continuation of the journey." - Dr Cameron Gillies, "The Gaelic Concept of Life and Death", 1913 Please forgive my clumsy attempt at expressing the love and sympathy I'm trying to convey.
