From Jean:
To all of my many friends both near and far - I wish to thank you all for the love and friendship that we have shared over many years. I loved you all and now I say farewell. It is my wish to leave this world as quietly as I arrived. No funeral or funeral service. I just wish to slip away over the rainbow.
Following Jean's wishes a private cremation has been held.
