Larry, News of your mother's death cut me like a knife. She had a strong desire to stay alive and, like many others, did "all the right things". I, too, have lung cancer and I was touched by her offer to pray for me and for the inspiration she provided. I am very sorry for your loss.

Larry and Children,
I worked with Jeanne at Beale and continued in friendship after we both retired. One of my fondest memories is when she invited a bunch of us "girlfriends" over for a sleepover on Y2K. We all twirled in the street with sparklers at midnight. That is how I think of her, as a friend who sparkles from the inside out. May the Lord rest her soul in peace.
From my garden with love.

Kelly, my dear sistr-in-law you have left our family with a heart full of loving memories. It's your time to fellow a pathway that has no end. As we travel through life together side by side sometimes a loved one must travel ahead and we are left behind to continue along, missing one who is no longer here. While it may seem the pathway has stopped, it merely has rounded a bend, and our loved one goes on to a much brighter place down the pathway that has no end. Love you!

To my favorite cousin who I will miss forever. I prayed for you at uncle Jean's grave in Normandy last week. Little did I know that you were looking down on us from above. I will always cherish our time together in Texas. Barbara and I love you. If only there had been more time and less distance. Rest well with
the Lord and all of those that we have loved in our brief stay here. We will all cross the threshold that you have already done and reunite with joy. Much love from Barbara and me.

Jeanne I don't think you ever knew how big of an impact you had on my life, especially as a mother!! Your kind words to me during the most difficult time in my life meant the world to me!! I thank Larry for introducing us, I thank you for being an inspiration/role model on how to be a mother & showing me how to be more patient w/not only my children but w/people in general. You have raised an AMAZING son, whom I am proud to call my friend/famILY. I'm going to truly miss you & that beautiful smile!!
