These final two images were shot in 2014 at an event honoring Jean's career. The program was wonderful, but for me the best part was the end  when friends joined Jean for a selfie session. Jean was not tech savy. Selfies were fun voodoo. Hooray for the iPhone.  special pals- Fabrizio Milano, Claudia Catania and Batyah Godfrey.

To all the family and friends my heartfelt condolences. Jean was a special lady never to be forgotten.
