Not sure what to say?

Jeanne opened so many doors, and windows, for me. My health, my mind and my spirit were brought forth to me with the help of this passionate person. The time she gave me is kept in a very dear part of my heart where I, at any moment, may look at and remember, and smile. There is never enough room to write of such a woman. So all I can say is: Thank you, thank you, thank you with all of my heart.

As a former Braesider Jeanne was an inspirational motivator that injected confidence, self worth and fun in to being a pupil. Whenever I smell incense sticks it always takes me right back to my first day, which were the best ever and thanks to her, made me the person I am today.

I was a proud Braesider! The lasting thoughts of Jeanne - will be forever Love, Peace and Joy.
She was the most increadible woman and ever lasting spirit in my life. I know that by her teachings and guidance that my life is so much richer for her being a part of it. I hope I live up to half the aspirations she has of me.
Be in spirit and happy xxx

Thank Jeanne so much for bringing out of the old...

T.H. Atwoman blew into Lake Stevens on a gust of Cyprus wind, quoting Shakespeare, slurping oysters and toasting Guiness. After circling the universe, her articulate words, passion for theatre and guttural laughter became an intoxicating addiction to those of us fortunate enough to be engaged. With Jeanne's boundless energy and vast experience from Cambridge and Braeside, we created R.A.D.A. As a teacher or student for most of her life, Jeanne loved and cherished her books like old...

Dear Jeanne, I will keep the wonderful memories of you in my heart and I am still amazed how our paths crossed and hope that I was of some help and joy to you as you were to me. You certainly lived life with a DASH girl friend!

We are all blessed to have known
Jeanne. Her wisdom, laughter and
love will always be treasured.

I feel truly blessed to have had the honor and pleasure of meeting Jeanne through my mother Liz and my sister Keileen. She will be very missed.

It was indeed a pleasure and honor to have known Jeanne and shared an additional pleasure in helping prepare some publishing work for her training courses, as well as somewhat playing cupid between her and her late husband, Don Johnson.
