The family would like to express its gratitude to the hospital’s caring staff for their special attention; the Heritage Lodge in Vankleek Hill, Jean’s home for the past ten years where she leaves behind many friends and fond memories. Also, many thanks to her long-time acquaintances from Smiths Falls for keeping in touch over the years – lasting friendships that were made when Jean lived there and taught at the Rideau Regional Centre for many years. The family will have a celebration of life at a later date. If so desired, donations in her memory may be made to the C.N.I.B.
