Jean

Like many teenage girls, Jean loved shopping at Maurices, playing basketball and soccer, watching comedies, eating jelly beans, and also had a passion for reading poetry. Jean suffered from a brain tumor and, for some time, underwent extensive chemotherapy. Throughout her treatment, Jean maintained an inspiring sense of humor and was even able to put a positive spin on losing her hair by wearing funky hats. Jean’s wish was for a new laptop computer. Wishes & More® not only fulfilled this wish, but also supplied various games, a webcam, PhotoSmart printer, wireless mouse and internet service. She also received a DVD of her favorite TV show, Home Improvement. Sadly, on Jean’s 21st birthday, March 10, after a year-and-a-half-long battle with cancer, she passed away.  Her mom wrote on her Caring Bridge site, “she is now in heaven celebrating with cake and ice cream and maybe even a few drinks. She can eat and drink again. She can shoot 3 pointers on the basketball courts of heaven. She can run up and down the soccer fields of heaven. What better birthday present could she ask for?”
