Kick off your sore injuries, Dear Jean, and dance free on dainty feet with full skirts swirling around delicate ankles. I love, respect and admire your strong heart and spirit.
I will remember my "Auntie Jean" with great fondness. I will remember the conversations we had when I was growing up. But more than I our words, I will remember the feeling of her presence. Her warm hugs. Her reassuring touches. She was kind, steady, gentle. She will be missed. My condolences to the whole family, including my grandmother - her best friend.
