Time flies but it seems like only yesterday! A special person with a big heart and the greatest love for her family! She can be proud of the children she raised and of her loving husband! Even in her lowest days she was still concerned for everyone and it showed. The love everyone had for her must have given great strength to cope with her illness and situation! May God continue to Bless Her and Her Family!

We have lost a truly wonderful person in Jean. A warm, kind, understanding person who was always there with a helping hand or kind words to help you through a problem. I remember making her a cake for her birthday and you would think it was worth a million dollars! Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Jeannie's passing. From the first to the last day that she and I worked together she brought her bubbly enthusiasm and compassion for others to our environment. The world is a darker place with her passing.

My sincerest condolences to Barry and their children.

My heart is broken. I loved Jeanie like a sister. I kept her in my thoughts and prayers daily. She will be with her mom and you will have two beautiful angels to watch over you now. We will take extra special care of her dad, we love him too. God bless you.
