I have been an honorary member of Clan Publow/MacPherson for over 30 years and I watched this remarkable family and the love they share. Gord was the head, but Jean was the foundation, and her love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grand-babies infused all that she did and said. My deepest condolences are joined by a celebration for a life well-lived. The pipes will sound just a little sadder for her passing. Blessings to all.
Suraski Family

With Love,
