A Heavy Heart…

Just got this message from Lonnie, the son of the Eagle Lady – Jean Keene.

“Hello Everyone

It is with a very heavy heart that I let you know that my beautiful 
and amazing mother has departed this mortal coil and is soaring over 
the mountains into a gorgeous sunset… Thank you all for so much. I 
truly appreciate it. The celebration begins now, OK?”

Lonnie

Jean has been ill for a while now. But she left this life the way she lived it, on her own terms. She will be missed, but never forgotten. I feel lucky to have spent some time with her over the past 3 years, I am a better person for it. This image was taken just 2 weeks ago, on my last trip to her yard.

The Lady in Red - Jean Keene "The Eagle Lady"... Rest in Peace.

Jean Keene - October 20, 1923 -> January 13, 2009

   Awe, this is the first time I’ve come across this photo, and it’s so sweet, yet I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. My grandmother just passed away in August, and I know she’s in a better place. I just have to look for her in the moon, sun and rainbows, even the clouds. Story will follow soon…
