Ms Jeanne was as beautiful and kind as she was intelligent. Though I only knew her the last few years, I could tell she was special. I valued her friendship and offer my condolences to her family.

Thank you Jeanne for your guidance and help as I learned the way to gather the positive proofs needed. It was always special that we met here in HSV when you had corresponded with my mother about our common ancestor, William Johnson. God bless and you will be missed.
