    We were privileged to have Jean and Jim as our neighbours for a brief time when we lived on Ord St. Jean was always interested in how our boys, Thomas and Andrew, were doing and she was instrumental in us finding a good home for our cat, Buck, when Thomas developed an allergy. We will always appreciate Jean&&single&&s support when we lost our son Thomas to an accident 3 years ago. She was a dear friend. Our sincerest prayers go to the family and friends. May faith, family and friends provide you with the support that you need at this difficult time.

    I have kept you in my thoughts for the past few weeks while Jean was in the hospital. We wish that we could be there in person to be of support, but know that you are in our prayers. Keep all of the good memories close and take comfort in knowing that Jean is now with Jim.
    We love you all.
