We are sad to hear that Jean has passed
We first met Jean when we lived nextdoor to Jo and Glenn and then Jean started coming to the district nurse clinic
She was a pleasure to look after and we often used to chat and she would tell me about the family. She will be sadly missed and are thoughts are with you.

Dear Steve and family,
I am so sorry for your loss of your Mum. I’ve very fond memories of chatting with her whilst she visited your Dad for a coffee at the waterfront. Thinking of you and your family as you celebrate your mother’s life and the wonderful legacy she leaves behind. With deepest sympathy.

Aunt Jean will be missed. She had a great zest for life and never let anything get her down. We will miss her wicked sense of humour. Her love for her family lives on in her children and grandchildren. May she rest in peace and memory be eternal.
