Dr. Elena Philip — 15 September 2025

True friends are rare and I was lucky enough to have one in you Dear Jean. You listened without judgement, laughed without reservation & supported without hesitation. You were there to offer quiet strength or loud cheer depending on the situation. You faced life's challenges with utmost strength and courage. We did not meet after you shifted to Australia but we did keep in touch. Your legacy has left small but meaningful & lasting impressions. Whether sharing family history, tending to the garden or sharing recipes you stitched love into everyday life. Losing a friend like you is painful & leaves an ache.... but your love leaves a gift that we'll carry forever. Rest in Peace Dear Jean.
