Dear Jean, we were blessed when you came into our community.. your acceptance of people from all walks of life... your creativity, kindness and loved it when you shared some of your vast storehouse of life experiences - especially when we enjoyed the many 'high teas' and having a garden walk, with cuttings to remember you by - along with your amazing teapot cosies that we treasure... your unique style and way of doing things.. simply put, our community became richer for knowing you and thank you for blessing us with the opportunity of forging such strong friendships... Arohanui, Jean, you will always be remembered.. condolences to family and friends.... and we can hear your words "well, that's just the way it is"....in total acceptance.... with much love from your forest friends Diane & Seabourne xxx fly free dear friend

My love and thoughts are with you all. Aunty Jean was a strong, capable and open hearted woman, who will be missed. I'm grateful for the time we spent together. Her soul is now free to fly. Arohanui, Larnie

Thinking of you today and especially remembering our visit to Hobbit Land in 2016 when you used a pair of stilts with such skill and expertise, you impressed us all! You were unique, one of a kind and you have left many memories and stories that will continue to be shared. With love and best wishes Joanne. Alan, Rebecca and James xxx
