Memorial for our knitter, Jean

February 16, 2012 was the memorial service for the oldest member of our knitting group. Jean was so special. At the service her son talked about how curious she was. We knitters nodded our heads in agreement. It was her curiousity that brought her to our group. She was 91 at the time and had never knitted. She was curious and asked what we were doing. She wanted to learn. It didn't take her long to learn. Soon she was knitting chemocaps for us. She was the sweetest person I've ever met. She never complained. She wanted to contribute to anything we ventured into. And she made great brownies. The service was great. She left behind a great and loving family. They've known her all of their lives and we only got to know her for the last three years but in those three years, we came to love her as though we've known her our whole lives. Rest in Peace, Jean.
