She will be missed,

our smiling Jean.

A wife, a mother, sister, gran.

A daughter from a distant land.

Artistic creature and a friend.

 

She left us in the Winter,

in those last days of the year.

To leave behind an emptry space

That will be hard to fill.

 

Many people loved our Jean.

They came from miles around

To fill Ardrossans little church,

Which echoed with their sound.

 

We praised the lord but in our hearts,

It was for Jean that we all sang.

In loving memory of a life,

spent in giving help and love.

 

Love flowed from her so bounteously.

In care of garden, home and friends.

In love of art and animals.

In time she gave fo those who came ,

to ask for help in doing things.

 

So thank you Jean.

You touched our lives

athat you spent here with us.
