Jean O'Connor

I would like to nominate my spouse and my best friend in the world Jean O'Connor. Through her eleven and a half years with breast cancer Jean has faced life's challenges with hope, strength, compassion and an unfaltering outlook that says "I will not give up".  At those times when she seems to have the least amount of energy, I see her doing her favorite things like baking and being with our five dogs. Jean is a truly inspirational woman, she inspires me to be the best person that I can, to live each day to the best and through her inspiration and courage, "I will not give up" either.
