It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother/Grandmother Jean Smith (nee Bale).

Messages of Condolence

Thank you Vera, for ALL your family did to make the passing of our Aunt Jeannie comfortable, kind and honourable. Brian and I respected Jean. Her determination, her devotion as well as her sense of fun and adventure were inspirations to us. The lifetime of caring she showed all of us, will remain a loving memory.

I express my deepest sympathy in this time of great sorrow. The Bible gives a comforting hope that your loved one will come to life again on a peaceful paradise earth when death will be no more in John 5:28, 29 and Acts 24:15.

How fortunate we were to have had the gift of time and memories with Auntie Jean. All the love she gave now lives in her family.

We never met Mrs. Smith but we knew of her son Terry and wife Karen for quite a few years. They spoke a lot of Mrs. Smith. We would like to send our condolences to Terry, Karen, Vera, Ralph and the rest of the family. May Jean RIP.

Sending love and condolences to all the family. I have such fond memories of staying with Jean and getting to know her and Les during a summer vacation to Canada. A formidable, fun and very kind lady.

So thankful Terry & I got to spend a lovely time with Jean & Les on our trip to Vancouver & then a few years later with Jean & her family. We were made so welcome and there were lots of laughs on the phone between those trips. A lovely lady who I will remember with love.
