    My deepest condolences to Al and families. Jean was a great gal and going to public school I remember Dad saying how he and Jean got along so well. Since moving to London we hadn’t seen that much of one another but she was still an Exeter gal; we will miss her greatly.

    Sincerely
    Claudette Sweitzer

    Our family is very sorry to hear our dear Jean passed on and her suffering is over. Jean was a great friend and wonderful neighbour to the Blacks when we lived on George Street.
    Many fond memories of our Coffee Hours, visits in Florida, our drives up to see Doris and Art, and we must not forget how Jean loved to shop or be tasting a new cookie she made.
    Al your were a wonderful caregiver.
    We will all miss her and our sympathy to the entire family at this sad time.
    Thinking of everyone,
