Please accept the condolences of your Missouri "kin." Another beginning, to a voyage with many ports on an endless globe.

I've lived and worked in Ojai for 30+ years and had the privelege of knowing Jeanne through my work at Bayless and Starr Mkt. She was absolutely a gem and a genuine nice person. I am saddened by her passing. I will miss her.

Dear friend and college Lowell and family,
It was with great sadness that I read of you mother, mother-in-law and grandmother's passing from this experience to another. I am certain that the knowledge of her rich and rewarding life having been graced by so many is some comfort to you at this time of sorrow. I will pray for all of you.
