Not sure what to say?

I loved her and her delightful husband. God bless you, Jean.

A completely wonderful person on the same level as her pianistic ability. There has not been a day in my life when I haven't been grateful that she was my teacher at a time when it made all the difference in the world.

A wonderful teacher and delightful human being, with a refreshingly frank wit. When a classmate told me I looked like a pianist when I played, Jeannie commented thoughtfully, "You do look like a pianist. You look more like a pianist than you have any right to look." I cherish the memories of clarity and grace in Mozart, the permission to use my fist in Bartok, and so many other moments. Sincere sympathy and all good wishes to Ken and family.

May she R.I.P and may fond memories live on in the hearts and prayers of love ones bringing comfort and solace at this sad time.
