    • About the Author

    Until recently Jean Francis owned her own catering company, coordinating the many different occasions that mark life?s milestones such as birth, marriage and death. Jean was inspired to write this book following some very moving funerals she herself attended. She realizes that these occasions do not have to be merely an event to ?go through? but can provide a real opportunity to give a very personal tribute to the deceased and what their lives stood for.
