Dear Greg and Shari, I know that Jean was such an important part of your lives and my prayers are with you and the entire Horne family. I find these words are comforting: "At this time of sorrow,may these truths sustain you - your loved one will always be as close as a memory and the God of all comfort is always as close as a prayer. " Love to you.

Although I only met Jean once I think I speak for many when I say that her passing is one of great sadness. As I read these condolences it is obvious that a lot of people looked up to Jean as a role model - on many levels. She was a pioneering woman and one of the most interesting persons I ever had to pleasure of exchanging words with. She taught me a lot about our family, and as she did this I couldn't help but be awestruck by her knowledge, creativity, boldness and fearlessness. We spoke twice on the phone after our meeting and she took the time to send me a few letters as well. I had requested an audience with her so that she could either confirm or deny over 100 pages of genaological information. This was only two years ago. She told me just before I left that she would read over the information and call me about it later. I didn't think she would actually call, but she did...twice! On a more humorous note; when I first contacted Jean by phone I was very nervous - for several reasons not worth going into right now. When I started to speak with her I ended of grossly fumbling my words. I said "Hello Mrs. Horne, I have been looking for you since 2001 - you are a hard one to track down." What I really intended to say was that I had been trying to sit down with her since 2001. After I said this very awkward statement to Jean there was about a 15 seconds awkward silence..while I dropped my head down into my hand in a shudder of humiliation..I couldn't believe I just said what I said - she then exclaimed "You're not very good at what you do are you Mr. Harris..I have lived in the same home for over 40 years!" I didn't quite know what to say, until I heard her laugh. She was wonderful! It would have been very nice to get to know her better. Jim Harris

Dear Bob and Chris, I have very fond memories of Jean. As a child of course, I called her Mrs. Horne. Those were the days when we would row over for tea with my mother. Kathleen and I took the Springer Spaniels for walks around the island. Later, Cleeve gave me advice on my art career aspirations. My dad took me to see some of his portraits in Toronto. I always remember my fascination with Jean's long grey hair. It was usually done up in a bun, but on occasion I watched her let it fly loose in the wind as she rode along with Cleeve and the dogs in the small fishing boat. In more recent years, Jean and I spoke on the phone a number of times. She tried to convince me to return to the lake for a visit after our place was sold, but it was too sad for me. We spoke of art and her sculptures. She said no one would let her near a torch anymore with her oxygen tank, so I suggested she try clay instead of metal. I don't know if she did, but I like to think she did. She told me stories I wouldn't have know...about watching my parents building the cottage when I was a toddler... how She and Cleeve called it "the cottage with the big deck" because only the bedrooms had been built. She also said my mother (Joan) who is now in assisted care suffering from Alzheimer's ~ was seen walking around the "big deck" with her spiked heels while my Dad hammered nails into the wood. On many occasions she would phone over to our cottage when I returned with my children to the lake, just to say hello. It was always lovely to hear her voice. A chapter has closed with her passing and she will be sorely missed. With Love, Debbie Skinner-Perez

In Loving Memory of Jean Horne Not how did she die, but how did she live Not what did she gain, but what did she give These are the merits to measure the worth Of a woman as a woman, regardless of birth Not what was her station, but had she a heart And how did she play her God-given part Was she ever ready with a word of good cheer To bring forth a smile or banish a tear Not what was her church, nor what was her creed But had she befriended those really in need Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say But how many lives have been touched As Jean passed by their way Gone is a Grandmother loved by all Jean's soul is now at rest She'll sleep at peace - Her work is done A Grandmother's work - the best ! Our hearts may grieve that she must lie Beneath the sacred sod And yet we know Jean lives in peace Within the house of God. The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright sea-shells in the sand The sun goes down, but gentler warmth still lingers on the land The music slows, then stops - yet echoes on in sweet refrains For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. Our family's sincere wishes will be with you all tomorrow, December 12th - as you celebrate Jean's life - and your connections with her and Cleeve over the years - This truly is the end of an era for you all - but your good memories will sustain you through times ahead - With love from us all - The James Marston Harris Family, Barbara Ann and Peter

Hi there, 8 years ago, my girlfriend at the time boarded with Ms. Horne for a little over a year. She was such a fascinating person, I never forgot her and continued to visit her for several years. I was about 24 when I met her and I remember her as someone who treated me as an equal with not a shred of judgement. We shared a deep affection for her dog PJ. My favourite memory is the last time I visited her about 4 years ago. She insisted I take her scooter for a ride around the house telling me how fun it was. She had a beautiful generous, playful spirit. I will remember her fondly. I remember that family was very important to her. Condolences to her family and close friends. Zach
