I read 13Clocks yesterday, Jeannie's copy of her favorite children's book. It kindled my closeness to her uniqueness. Forever a part of us.

During the holidays while baking cookies together, Jeannie would lead us in singing "a partridge in a pear tree." I planted a pear tree in her memory. This year for the holidays it dropped a ripe pear into my hand. I still feel her in my life.

Jean did not stand on the sidelines of life. She loved strong sweet coffee, baseball, roses, cats and her sports car. She was a very independent woman who never lost the counter-culture attitudes of her youth. She brought a great deal of intelligence and integrity to her professional life. I will miss her more than I can say. She left us too soon.

I loved Jeanie for her willingness to share laughs -- and I loved how she accepted folks as they came (and seemingly rejoiced in the differences!) Her tender care of her Mother was inspiring and evidenced her loving heart. I find comfort in the image of Jean peeking through the clouds to add a heavenly cheer when the Padres make a great play! She was a great Lady.

I loved Jean from the first moment I saw her and she is still the most constant love of my life. She was both best friend and love, always supportive and sharing; my memories of her will be with me forever.

Jean was a good friend and co-worker for many years. She was intensely loyal and always saw the good side of people. I will miss her!

Jeannie epitomized dignity and generosity. I cherish the inspiration she brought to living life with a serious flair for fun and appropriateness. She was my strong pillar of integrity showing me how to face the world square on with inner strength. At the same time she was a kitten princess of a little girl with fresh joy for daily doings. I miss my uniquely spiritual mentor and friend.

She loved this picture and it is the only one I have. She was wearing her favorite necklace of mine and she is just as I will always remember her: warm, kind, beautiful, and radiant. On the back she wrote, "For my dearest Curtis C, with much love always, Jeannie." My thoughts exactly, always.

A Gift

April 18, 2013

            I have had the privilege of sorting through the artifacts of Jeannie’s life. She kept mementos from her daily experiences, baseball tickets noting the person who joined her and the score, printed emails about engagements with friends, theater programs and travel paraphernalia, all in neat layers and sorted by years into large envelopes and then storage boxes. The most endearing was the proliferation of thank you notes for her generosity and caring interest in the lives of her friends. Christmas cards and letters had notations about significant information for her to remember. It was physical evidence of how carefully she loved and was appreciated.

             At first it seemed peculiar that she saved so much, then I thought how it showed the degree to which she valued every happening and experience that created her life. I wonder if she intended to review the years.

            Another interesting part of her storage was that so much was in excellent condition and some of the things were from her childhood. The fun part was the arrangement and packaging; a basket with foreign coins, a cloisonné box with shells and a fortune that read “trust in each other,” a large decorated can with a postcard collection, or a cloth bag with the components organized for oriental brush painting. She excelled in all aspects of gift giving and seeing her stored goods was like opening another gift of her design.
