Dear Chuck, Sharron, Sheila and Families,
So sorry to hear of Jean’s passing. I have many fond memories of
Jean coaching us in softball at Cloverleaf Stadium and of times at French’s Church.
I remember her as being so friendly, kind and patient with us as kids.
May you keep all your cherished memories close to your heart.
Extending sympathy to you all.

Upon hearing of Jean's passing, I reflected on the very positive impact she had on my life. As my Sunday School teacher at French's United, in my young teen years, Jean was the catalyst to a life of faith. She took us to see special services in town and even to a screening of "The Cross and the Switchblade," an avant-garde Christian movie! Most importantly for me personally, she encouraged me to attend a youth retreat at the Five Oaks retreat centre, a four-day experience that changed the direction of my life. I currently volunteer with Five Oaks.
I was happy to have the opportunity to call Jean a couple of years ago and let her know of the impact she had on my life. We had a good chat. I know Jean blessed many lives, just as she blessed mine.
