On bahalf of my brother and sisters, we are sorry to hear of this. Your mom and my mom were so much alike. As John said, these women were said to be the life of the party. They were the party! We can look back at the Stone clan and mention Les Sr., Les Jr. Aunt Maimie and Pop, the Swartz women, I remember Ucle Paul, Aunt Ester, Suzie’s dog Snookie. Your mom was another one of these immortals. Her spirit and love for life will forever live within those she touched. We can be proud of where we came from and of our family’s heritage. We are going to miss Jean. Harry can turn off the light. She finally went home. See you on Monday.

I have many fond memories of Aunt Jean but my favourite by far is the great time I had visiting Uncle Harry and her in St. Petersburg. I am fortunate to be part of such a wonderful family!

Rest In Peace Mom, I love you and I will miss you, I will remember you always….
“It is a wonderful thing,
A Mother;
Other folks can love you,
… But only your mother
Understands.
She works for you,
Looks after you,
Loves you, forgives you
Anything you may do,
And then the only thing
Bad she ever does to you,
Is to die and leave you.
