We have thought of you both so many times since we were together in Bradenton. Our best thoughts and prayers go out to Lew and family - thank you for your friendship and glad you got so many years together. God bless you and we keep our beautiful memories of her close to our hearts.

Jeanne.....my best friend, neighbor, and good buddy! I know you are now at peace in a beautiful heaven. We will miss you so greatly, but will always have our memories to warm us and make a smile overcome the tears. We sure did enjoy those long talks when we both happily laughed (and also sadly cried.) I am so glad we had our friendship for so many years.
