Dear Jeane,

Happy Birthday wherever you are now!

October 11, 2018

Such sadness to learn of Jeane's passing. We met in Atlanta in 1980 while we both worked at Bailey Banks & Biddle. We soon became lifelong friends, and even roommates after her return from Albequerque, NM. The time spent as roommates is what comedy legends write about. It sustained us in laughter and tears throughout the rest of her life.

God speed Jeanne, on this new journey of yours. Rest in Peace, dearest friend.
