I want to send my heartfelt condolences to Jeanne's entire family. I was a high school friend of her daughter, Jenn, and I remember Jeanne quite fondly. She was such a sweet, kind, wonderful, and caring person. She would always welcome you with open arms and hold a conversation with you that lasted for hours. I remember Jeanne always smiling, laughing, and being so carefree.
My heart breaks to learn of her passing, I wish I knew sooner.
I hope she is in a better place now and spreading all the joy in heaven that she gave to so many of us when she was here.
I know the pain Jenn and her entire family is going through right now.
It never goes away; but as long as we talk about all the good things Jeanne has done in her life, the more she will live on through her children and grandchildren>
I am so very sorry for your loss
