I do not need a special day to bring you to my mind. The days I do not think of you are very hard to find. My heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow. Oh what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. When I am sad and lonely and everything goes wrong I seem to hear you whisper, "Cheer up and carry on". Each time I see your picture, you seem to smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm only sleeping. We'll meet again someday". Love, Barb PRATIES, Jane (Jean) October 12th, 1928 - February 10th, 2011 Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother Jean passed away peacefully on Thursday in her sleep. Beloved wife of the late Robert Praties. Jean will be forever missed by her daughter Susan Coish (Ian). Her loving grandchildren Jenny (Jamie), Jason (Amanda), Cory (Laurie), Ashlee (Mike) and Matthew and her 6 great-grandchildren. Jean brought life, laughter and love to her family. Her quick wit and beautiful personality always drew the attention of others, and made everyone she met fall in love with her. She was a strong outgoing vivacious Scottish lassie. Her generous heart and loving ways never went unnoticed. She was a special lady who made friends easily and those she made, she kept. Her family will greatly miss her constant involvement in their lives. Jean never missed an important event or special occasion in the lives of her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Most of all we will miss the special quality she brought to all of our lives. It is a special piece of her we will carry with us always. Jean's memorial service will be held at a later date at Knox Presbyterian Church. Arrangements entrusted to the J.S. Jones & Son Funeral Home 905-877-3631.
