Sue Tyler published a comment Yes Lee Nyberg, it was you the universe sent to connect me with Jean. I remember you as my fearless student, trying to navigate through high school. I was pleased and honored when you invited me to come to 10 Jewett Lane for dinner, to meet your housemates. I had no idea, that my life was about to be altered forever. In retrospect I realized everyone including Jean were on their best behavior for Ms Tyler's visit. It was the beginning of many decades of fabulous dinners debates etc. As you transitioned from my student to my friend, your extended family became mine. Jean was our forever, teacher leader, confidante, chef,and compass. The love and comradery that was shared in that house, started with Jean and spread. So my unconditional thanks to you for being brave enough to invite me to dinner.

Lee published a comment Ms. Tyler, your words rang true, Jean was the best teacher and u come second. hehe Thinking back to high school times, PE was my favorite class. Your teaching made the class enjoyable and tought me to do my best with humbleness. Only after you joined the Hot Flashes team, I saw your dry sense of humor. We all love having you join the HF team! I miss those days.

Donna Albino published a comment Lyon's Pride, the LGBTQ alum network at Mount Holyoke, has a fund to help students meet their expenses when they have an unpaid summer internship. If anyone would like to contribute to that fund to honor Jean, we'd be so grateful. Information on previous students helped by the fund, and info on how to make a donation, are at this link: http://mhlp.org/page-1561302?

Kavita Ramdas published a comment Sonali, sending love and solidarity. This woman was all Mount Holyoke can be proud of. I’m so glad I got to know her and like all of you fell in love with her - thanks to Mary Jacob, Indira Peterson, and Joan Cox, Jean was a part of my life even though as a transfer student I never managed to squeeze in a class with her. Her feminist brilliance inspired me and still does. Rest in Power Jean! ✊

Sonali Gulati published a comment Your sharing moved me to tears. To see Jean's generous, helping, giving spirit stay intact like this. I am thankful to the staff at OV for looking after Jean so well. Please thank Brittany Barry on my behalf for helping me stay connected to Jean through all those Facetime calls this past year. They really were my lifeline. |

Sonali Gulati published a comment Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Jean. It touched me in ways I can't express, |

Brittany Barry published a comment She was such an AMAZING person who I was lucky enough to see almost everyday. I will always remember her laugh and her inspiring talks she would give me during her time at Orchard Valley. Jean was a ray of sunshine and she will be greatly missed. |

Nancy Richard published a comment Thanks to everyone at Orchard Valley who let Jean take care of them while she was there. Every time she heard the loud speaker, she would drop everything she was doing to go see if there was anything she could do to help. She didn't want to hear it when she was told, "no Jean we're here to help you".

Ellen Wade published a comment Yes, I so appreciated Liz Daley and everyone else that supported and loved Jean at Orchard Valley. i know you made her life easier and more fun in so many ways. Thank you. Ellen |

Sonali Gulati published a comment I remember the time when your car got stuck in the snow in Jean's driveway one night, while you were house-sitting for her. You called me on my landline in my dorm room (that's all we had back then) and I headed over to help you. I remember staying over with you in that little room that later got coined as Sonali's room, and I remember thinking how lucky you were to have such a special relationship with Jean. |

Carolyn Benson published a comment The longest time I spent with Jean was at that 10-day retreat led by Patricia in Yelapa, but I never forgot her and was delighted whenever our paths crossed. She was, of course, unlike anyone I'd met. I loved the way she fully occupied her life and her body, full of projects and humor and at the same time open and friendly, ready to talk and listen. I am so grateful to have known her.

Lucy Grossholz published a comment The first time I met Jean, Dean took me to “the house on Jewett Lane” Dean & I slept on the floor in a little bedroom in the back of the house, in the morning Jean came & brought us coffee in our room. At night we had dinner with.Jean & many of her friends, (all women). We had the best time, lots of talking, laughing,good food, & love & acceptance. It was the first of many more times that we spent with our sister Jean, eating, talking, laughing, sharing. Oh those were the days & the memories linger on. Farewell Sis! ❤️
