    Auntie Jean you are greatly missed. I named my first born daughter after you (Maisie Jean Gairns) as I hope she too may grow up to be as kind and strong as you were. My fondest childhood memories often were related to you. You will forever be a part of every smile I make. Thank you for kindness and love the world was a better place for having you in it. I’m sending you all a huge hug from me. Take care

    An incredible lady, with passion and energy for her family, friends, and her farm. We fondly remember our Aunty Jean, who kindly looked after three sets of very energetic cousins with great care and patience every holiday. With Jean farming into her eighties, anecdotes of Jean on the farm are never far from our thoughts whenever our kids require great examples of resilience and the value in doing what you love.

    Fondly remembered and greatly missed. Leon, Simone, Ethan, and Owen.
