Jean Whitacre was an extraordinary individual. I've known her my entire life. She always sent birthday cards to me and my children, She was a very loving and compassionate person. She was always in our lives as we grew up, got married and raised our family. I was honored to have known her and had her in my life. She will be greatly missed.

Jeanne Whitaker was a great lady who took care of me when I was a little boy. I am now 67 years old. When I was young she was like a second mom to me.
