| John Gregorin on ukuele, Jean, and Anne Jean's room at the Zen Hospice, 1/30/13 |
Jean is
more wakeful today and yesterday than she was Monday and Tuesday, but she still
is not talking much. Today the only visitors were her inner circle, Karen
Creech, her sister Anne, and Matt. But yesterday was a different story. In chronological order:
 |
| John, Matt, and Jean Jean's room at the Zen Hospice, 1/30/13 |
Jean met
John through the Bay Area folk dance community, and they have been friends for
over 15 years. In the summer of 2011, after the tumor was discovered, John and
his girlfriend Sue visited us at home twice, working all day with us in the orchard,
then cooking us dinner.

| Gale Myra Pico and Jean Lewis Jean's room at the Zen Hospice, 1/30/13 |
Gale is
Matt's sister, the eldest of the six Pico siblings, and a compassionate woman
who struggled valiantly against her mental illness. Gale was actually the first of Matt's siblings
she met, and the one she sees most frequently.
