Jean, some may have seen you as bound to a wheel chair with out vision or drive.; Some may have seen you as an old woman with no heart or soul.
Some may have seen you as a lovely woman in youth but no more'.
Some may have seen you as over the hill and with out purpose or value.
They could not see the forest for the trees, dear Jean
for never has there been a woman who could dance across fields
of sunflowers and bow humbly before her God;
Never has there been a woman all heart and soul who gave so much in her 'Hellos', her smiles, and her welcoming.
Never has there been a woman whose purpose of love for all and whose value lay in her ability to love others until they knew their value,
Jean you were special, one of a kind. There will never be another who mirrors your talents, skills, characteristics and being.
And now God, recognizing your great beauty and love for others selected you to come live by his side for you are one of the true gems he placed among us, the blind. You are now a magnificent star in his crown -as you always were.
I have no words meanginful enough so I'll use those used for all times - Thank you. Thank you for more than I can say. Thank you lfor your magnanimous generosity Jean - for all thelaughs we shared, for all the gifts of eggs, fruits, vegetables, and on and on and more; for the Christmas/New Year's suppers ; for showing me my value and most of all for being my friend. I loved you. I love you, still. B
