We are sincerely saddened to hear of the passing of my sister Jean. Our condolences to Jean’s sons, Kelvin, Rick, Lon and Kalyn and families. I have many memories of Jean and the boys while growing up together. When Jean’s sons were young, I spent a few summers with them all in Regina, Saskatoon and Humboldt Sask, those years were memorable times. My wife Joan and I always appreciated Jean’s hospitality and visits with her when in Regina. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Sorry to hear of Jean's passing as I only met her a few times but her and her husband were always welcoming. I enjoyed hanging out with Lonnie and Rick back in the 1970's and had good memories.
