It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Jessie on July 25, 2013. Your family will miss you. Your son Richard (Carol) McLean, daughter in-law Linda McLean; grandchildren Kenneth Andrew (Dee) McLean, Brian McLean, Michael McLean and Melissa (Spencer) Fauteux; greatgrandchildren Jessica, Cassia and Alexa; brother Charles and sisters Betty and Margaret (Derek). Jessie was predeceased by husband John and son’s John and Kenneth. Born February 5, 1921, Jessie was destined to marry John McLean in 1943 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Three son’s later, we were off to Canada, landing in Montreal in June of 1957. By 1961, we had moved to B.C. and settled in Kamloops. Here, Mom and Dad met many people and developed some beautiful friendships over the years. Gardening was a joy for both Mom and Dad. Today, they are gardening together again under the watchful eyes of sons John and Kenneth. The family wish to thank the wonderful staff at the Hamlets for treating Mom with such kindness and respect during her stay. No service by request.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in Áight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your Àerce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
4 years in Heaven

There is nothing new that we can say That we haven’t said before; In the 4 years since you left us, Jess, We’ve missed you more and more. We have watched your childhood friends grow up, And some have moved away; But in our hearts you’re twenty-five, And that is what you’ll stay. We think of all the things you’ve missed, Like marriage, children, jobs. And we wonder what you’d be like now If you were with us, Jess y But surely your perspective, Jess Is different from ours here, It’s only for ourselves we mourn For we miss you so, son, brother, and friend But with your help, we will be brave, As we try to carry on. And someday when our journey’s done. We’ll see your smile once more, And hold you in our arms again. When we meet at Heaven’s door. We love you Jess y Mum, Dad, Kyle, Char and Lil Jesse and all your Family and Friends y
Your memory is our keepsake, We have you in our hearts, Everyday, in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent, you are ever near Still missed, still loved and ever dear. Love forever Dad, Mom, Jesse & family

My heart is full of memories, With pride I speak your name, Though life goes on without you, It will never be the same. Forever loved and always missed Bonny
She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!
