My Condolences to Thom and the Parker Family,
Seeing Jean's smiling face in the Globe today was a sad surprise, but in reading that beautiful obituary, it brought back memories of living in Regina. I had the pleasure and privilege for a short time of being Jean and Doug's neighbour, almost directly behind, on 19th Avenue. It was a wonderful group of neighbours and Jean was a big part of developing that sense of community. She walked around the neighbourhood a lot and always seemed to be smiling in her wonderfully quiet yet effective way, curious about people, kindness personified, and very proud of all her children. I can imagine what a great grandparent she was. My sympathy to all.
