    I have been an honorary member of Clan Publow/MacPherson for over 30 years and I watched this remarkable family and the love they share. Gord was the head, but Jean was the foundation, and her love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grand-babies infused all that she did and said. My deepest condolences are joined by a celebration for a life well-lived. The pipes will sound just a little sadder for her passing. Blessings to all.

    Sending condolences to the family as we mourn a lifelong friend and beautiful soul.
    I treasure the fun times and memorable adventures we shared of our school days, teenage courtships, summer and cottage fun, our weddings and Jean’s love for her four legged fur babies.
    I will miss her dearly but will keep the memories and laughter alive in my heart.
    May Jean and Gordie be holding hands together again.

    With Love,
