My sincerest sympathies on the loss of your mother. I enjoyed working with her at many Queen of Martyrs events a good number of years ago.

Jean was an inspiration to me as a mother. She was the best. The proof is in the 9 loving children she raised. When first we met she was one of the few who loved me without judgement or reservation, even though she had reason to. She was quite modern and openminded while also wise and wonderfully rooted in her religion. A stellar beauty I will miss and never forget.
