Close, but no cigar.

It was a gift from Lilandra to Jean's parents after she died.  It is the
product of Shi'ar technology and is supposed to contain the essence of
Jean's personality.

>It happened somewhere between XMEN 100-130. Sorry I don't remember which Issue.

Nope.  Issue #138, the funeral issue.
