I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Jeanne's family. Jeanne and I were school mates and worked together at Quality Mills years ago. I will always remember Jeanne's smile, laugh, and love for life.

Jeanne will be very missed. I want to remember all the good times I have had with Jeanne and Blaine. I have known Blaine since he was a little boy back in Bryson City where we were raised. He was like a brother to us. After I met Jeanne, she became my dear friend. She was just such a wonderful lady.
