From: Andy and Kath Raeber
Relation: Live long friend of Jean, Roland, Omer and the family.
I will always, and with fond memories, remember Jean and Roland, who were so nice and loving to me, as I was best friends with their son, Omer.
Jean had a smile on her face and a kind word, always.
Omer and I hung out a lot, as teens. When I was 16 and 17, I would pick Omer up in my mothers 1967 FireBird 400 ragtop, and cruise Prince George. Jean saw this and was very generous as she allowed me to take her Luxo Ford ride out for a spin, which we did gladly.
Jean, Omer and I went to St Paul to a wedding in 1975, and while we were there, Jean gave me the keys to her ride, so off Omer and I went, terrorizing the neighborhood. The problem was I didn’t have a drivers license, as I drove perfectly well without it? Too funny now, but at the time as teenagers, we had no idea of the legal implications. (I could also note that my parents had NO idea I was test driving their cars with no license either.)
Over the years I spoke to both Roland and Jean, and not much had changed, as they evoke wonderful memories, like a log fire in the winter.
Jean and Roland came together as individuals creating a union, leaving their legacy, which is reflected in their children, families, and friends like myself.
I’m very fortunate to have been part of the Gascon experience.
My wife Kath and I would like to send our deepest condolences to Omer and the families. Our love and thoughts go out to you all.

Relation: Friend
To Rene and Family,
We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Jean had a welcoming smile for everyone. My family spent a lot of time at the Burger Bar it was our favourite place to eat after church on Sunday. They made it feel like you had just stepped into there home for a meal. They had a special kind of light that that Elk Point will miss.. Our deepest sympathy to you all at this sad time.
