Jeanne Helen O'Neill SPRAFKA

A beautiful write up, Cindy. What a remarkable woman ! I would have certainly liked to have known her. I´m so sorry for your loss.

Steve--so sorry for your loss--I enjoyed working with you and your Mother-she was a fun lady!!

I didn´t know her, but through you Cindy, I saw the "Joy de la vie" in you that must have come from her. And I´m sure she is adventuring still. My deepest condolences to your family. Another bright star shines in the night sky.

I have come to appreciate what an absolute inspiration Jeanne has been to me! She was willing to share her family with me and trusted me with her son Philip who became my very favorite person! She was proud of her grandkids, always happy to see them and encouraged them to do great things. She was unapologetic about her life and carried herself with dignity and respect. I am blessed because I got to be a part of another great family and I hope I can carry on that legacy. Rest In Peace Jeanne,...

I think of Jeanne as an insperation for me because getting to know her and some family I wrote a story about these Sprafka's. After she first read the story she had it copied and spread it to others in the family. I must have put some good things into it for what she did. Maybe the best of remembrances was the coins I found and gave them to my grand kids, Lizzie and Jake. I couldn't be more proud of her grandkids and ours too because they are great kids and were some good workers for me...

Dear Steven and Cyndy, I am sorry for your loss. I remember her from The Wellington, where she lived around the corner from my mother, Jane Birks. Your tribute is beautiful.

Steve, I am saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. I know you were very close. I used to enjoy listening to you talk of your stories about finding hidden treasures while working with your mom. Please keep me posted. I would love to help you celebrate her life.

Lovely write up, Cyndy. I remember how gracious she was to Amy and me. I believe we even attended a brunch event at her insistence. I suppose at the time I just assumed that's the way all Minnesotans were. That was before Keillor snubbed me at the Walker.

I truly know how you feel. My heart opens to your whole family. When the world gets more livable I think we should all crash a wedding in her honor or if we can manage it maybe ride an elephant meanwhile we are all better people for having such incredible mothers. Rest In Peace after a life so well and fully lived. Love paris
