Jean aka Rockpickerforever has lost her battle with brain cancer. Since Dec 2022, she fought valiantly with her husband, Bob, always by her side. For those who didn't know of Jean, she has been an active member since 2011. She was a character and will be greatly missed by many.
ETA- Last call to sign the card. I'll be sending it this afternoon EST.

This is a day that I hoped would never come. I just knew in my heart that I was going to show her just how close we came to finding the dumortierite we went looking for. (We were about 100 yards off and it was in plain sight) 15 minutes from Tony's spot in Q.

This is very sad news to hear this Valentine's Day. Jean has been missed by all of us for over half a year now. My condolences to all of you who knew and loved her, to her husband Bob and all of her family and friends. We all have lost a precious gem.

So sorry to hear. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Jean, but knowing this community I'm sure she was one of the good ones. RIP.

It certainly is sad when a friend that you have never met except through RTH dies. I, however, will always have very positive memories of Jean because of a "Guess the Mileage Contest" and the Brenda Plume prize that they found and donated as the winning prize. Thanks Jean!

My inmates could tell something was not right with me today and wisely did not play any games with me.

I lost my father in law 24 years ago due to the same affliction. I really like Jean's personality and have missed her since she stopped posting here. She kept us honest and on our game. RTH won't be the same without her and Mohs, Vince, Stonemon, John, Sophia13, and a slew of others I can't remember at the moment. Life is often poignant.

I'm sorry to hear about Jean's passing, she was another one of those members that was first to interact with me on this forum. I'll miss her.
