Thank you for sharing the love of music and for the 11 years of teaching me to appreciate the gift of learning to play the piano. I will carry it forever.

I've known Jeanne for twenty years through the New England Chapter of NAAFA. She had so much talent and heart, and I always remember her smiling. It was such a shock to hear of her death. She was in the midst of valiantly fighting for the size and weight discrimination law to pass in Massachusetts. She was giving so much, and working so hard to help others. She will be missed.

For as long as I've been part of NAAFA, I experienced great pleasure with Jeanne's direction of our musical events from chapter rallies to talent shows. I'll miss her charm, her talent, her infectious smile and her ways of gentle persuasion.

I was blessed to meet Jeanne at the NAAFA conference years ago. Her bright smile, beautiful sense of lyrical music and commitment to human rights will be sorely missed by those who love her.

I had the great fortune to meet Jeanne in person singing in the choir at the Million Pound March and meet her year from on the fat acceptance mailing list. She was a wonderful, vivacious person and we miss her terribly.
