Jeanne just closed her eyes and went to sleep.
There may be times you think of her and tenderly weep.
She would not want us to be sad.
So let's rejoice in knowing she is at peace.
Her spirit is with us at all times. She whispers her love as the soothing sound of wind chimes.
Her tender presence can be felt and seen in a beautiful dream. Her laughter in the flowing a the soft summer rain. T
The beauty of her smile which I'm sure could light up a room.
She's close to our hearts. All loving thoughts to forever be remembered kept close in out hearts and thoughts.
Because the Heavenly Father stamped her "Love" on the hearts of those that shared her life.
~Much Love To The Family~

Bruce and I had the opportunity to teach with Jeanne at Brown Middle School. Then she and I were together at Riley High School. She was one of the kindest persons we've ever known. She was an excellent and caring teacher. Susan, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Bruce and Leona Johnston, Fountain Hills, AZ

My deepest condolences to the family. Jeanne will be greatly missed.
She just closed her eyes and went to sleep,,,
We miss her physical presence so at times we may weep...
Rejoice in knowing that she's at peace..
Her spirit can be felt in a warm breeze...
A whisper of tenderness when the birds sing...
Jeanne is closer to us in spirit-in a Heavely state...
I know she'll be looking down on all of those she loves...
I envision her presence as a ray of light sent from above...
The short time I knew her I felt at ease in the presence of a child of the Most High.
May She rest in peace...
Love, Respect and Admiration to Susan Kelly-her beloved daughter and family...
