Kathy, so very sorry to learn the loss of both of your parents. I so enjoyed both of them. I've moved to Midlothian TX and didn't know how to get in touch with your parents since they had moved.

I only knew Jeanne at the end of her life but I was grateful to spend time with her and hopefully provide some comfort. She was very special.

I am so sorry to learn of the loss of my classmate, Jeanne. The last time I got to talk with her was when John died. She was a dear person.
