I worked with Jeanne many years at CBR and always enjoyed her tales of travels through Europe and abroad. She always said if she lived in Europe that she would be thin and had an old picture of herself in a bathing suit that she would occationally pull out.

She would talk about her "girls" with such pride and loved her grandson. There was no one happier than she was when he came along and I am sure she was over the moon for her grand-daughter. I will always remember Jeanne with a smile.

Remember only the good times as I am sure you have many warm memories of adventures and just being together as a family.

The Blooms were the best of neighbors on Tennyson Road. What stands out most in my mind, is how Mrs. Bloom was eager to help out in any way she could after my mother was disabled by a stroke almost ten years ago. Mrs. Bloom herself was having trouble walking at that time, but that didn't stop her from helping out her neighbors. Carolyn and Gail, our sympathies to you in your loss.
