It was my pleasure to share the last years of Jean's life as her husband. From the very beginning she accepted me for who I am and we had absolute trust in each other. Full of love, surprises and kindness I decided to be her partner because she began the process of helping me come out of my shell of self-doubt and shallowness. She accepted my offer to be with her forever at which time I discovered the depth of her talents and began a beautiful friendship with her adult children. We shared many many joyful experiences as I was filled with growth as a man. Many many fun times as our bond as one never allowed us to have anything but full trust in our love. I have decided to not try and "move on." I miss her and always will. My life is fullest if I keep her in it. She and her family have my love forever.

I am the 4th child of Jean. I have many memories of my mother... too many to write.But a few are: My mom loved the holidays, she took great care in purchasing gifts to please each child, Easter Egg hunts in our huge wild yard...where years afterwards, jelly beans could still be found in the fence crevices, under bushes, etc. When she was cooking in the kitchen I would come by and ask her to scratch my back--and she would unless extremely busy and she told me to scratch it on the wall - we had mahogany walls in our Eichler home in Mountain View. I remember once when she disciplined my sister and I (1.5 years older than I) for arguing, she sent us to our room TOGETHER until we worked it out. It didn't take us long to hug each other, laugh, and leave the room! She let me buy an "itsy-bitsy, blue and yellow polka-dotted bikini--because my sister Cathi said over the phone from the mall - it has an attached cover-up so her belly doesn't show. First time I dove into the water at a hotel, the bikini bottoms fell down!....And yes, it really was blue with yellow polka dots!
