What a lovely picture of Jene! It reflects her beauty and joy. She was a special member of our wonderful Class of 1957 at Agnes Scott and I have many happy memories of dear Jene from our days at the college as well as gatherings through the years. Love to Jene's family at this time of thanksgiving for her life as well as grief for your loss. Devotedly, Sis Newsome

To the Black children and grandchildren, I have not known of your mother since I graduated Hillsboro High School in 1962. But I have Never forgotten her! When I became a teacher, I tried to "channel" her energy, intellect and enthusiasm to my students. She was so full of life & joy. Her 20-something self was such a good example to us. Her students are not at all surprised to hear of her giving life.
My deepest sympathies on your loss. Sincerely, Virginia Yasin, Florence, AZ

Its with a heavy heart that I write this today. Jene was a light in John Lonergans class and in MBAA association. She was a great friend and loved the community of all the artists. I pray that your family is comforted by your memories and the love she had for all of you. May God bless you and keep you.

Randy and I were so very sorry to read about Jene's death. We had so much fun working in the children's programs at St. Luke's together.
Blessing to her family.
