Jean Mitchell, age 92, died today.
Who was Jean? Why should I care? Why should you care?
Jean was a very special lady. Her son, Mike was one of George's best friends in college and after. But Jean (and her surviving husband, Frank) were not "parents" to the group of friends who first met at Fullerton JC. Jean and Frank were part of the group. They were friends, not "Mike's parents" They were our peers, if not in age, in attitude, in mind, in willingness to explore, discuss, examine life and everything around it.
Being around Jean never felt like being around my mother or my mother's friends. Being with Jean was like being with any of my girlfriends.
Jean lived 92 years, but Jean was never old. Jean was always the age of the people she was with.
There is a hole in my heart and in my life tonight.
Jean, I miss you.
