SERVPRO of Grand Junction rewards Jean Border with October 2016 Peoople you can count on

Jean Border is SERVPRO of Grand Junctions People you can count on for October 2016.  Jean Border of Grand Junction says “It is giving and you might be the only one who those people see in the day”. Dedicating hours through volunteering at Hospice, Border says her work became her passion, leading her to many great friendships.

"It was like a perfect match, and you don't always have that," she says. She had a lot of pictures and a lot of experiences with people, it has been just a great bond!

After the passing of a dear friend, Border is working to honor her wish by creating a family history scrapbooks for 13 relatives.  This is one of the things she was asked of when she was still conscious, to please get her book finished.   "I guess I just feel that it's a treasure and it is family history, a father. If you read the letters, you can tell that he loved his family and that he was very proud of them all."

Jeans daughter says not a moment goes by that she isn't working to help someone else. Her whole life has been just a message of servant-hood and giving to others.  She has opened her heart up to them and they have reciprocated. She has built a lot of good friendships and bonds with these people. Border believes that it has just been her duty in life, as it takes volunteers to make the world go around.

After the loss of two grandchildren, Jean Border understands pain and now it's her turn to help guide others through it.

"You become a part of their life, whether you really are a part or not," she says. " It just makes them smile or you can cheer them up."

That's why News channel 5, SERVPRO of Grand Junction, and Housing Resources has selected Jean Border for this month's People You Can Count On.
