To Jeanne's children & family,

I first met Jeanne at the Sjogren's Syndrome meetings. Later, I did serve on the local board's officers with her. We did a few social activities & always had a good time. She helped me out a great deal with my diagnosis. I last saw her at Orchestra Hall or your Dad's Memorial Service. The thing I really liked about Jeanne is that she really "spoke her opionion" on any topic from her heart, whether you agreed or not! I like that quality in a person.
She always spoke so positive about her children and their life choices -- we always knew how much she loved & supported them.
May the good memories of your mother comfort you.
Sincerely,

Kathleen Mehus

Jeanne, you entered my life far later than it should have been but it made our friendship all the sweeter! I treasure you saying "Isn't it wonderful to find a friend at this point in our lives?" I will miss our fireside chats at Linda's. RIP
