I returned from a 7 week maternity leave to discover that I had a new employee...Jeanie Simpson. We hit it off from the start. I loved the life stories including those from the airline days. I still have the miniature box cutter to this day! Over the following months as I got to know you, I knew you were a special person. You certainly proved it with your patience with Collin as he went up and down your stairs over and over and over again when we visited. I rarely saw you without a smile on your face. You will be missed by many.

Jackie, you were a wonderful husband and an amazing friend to a lady that adored you from what I could tell. You know where to find me if you need anything!

To our friend...Jeanie you were absolutely one of kind! Your laughter, your voice, the sparkle in your eyes, your hugs and your kisses...we will miss it all so very much here on earth forever.

We will never forget the times we enjoyed together with you, Jackie and the many friends at your home over the years. And, everytime we hear Frank Sinatra or Harry Connick, Jr. we will always be thinking of you.

One of my favorite memories was spending the night with you, Jackie, Angie, Kara and I, and all the animals in your walk-in closet while we waited for Hurrican Ivan to pass. What a night!

We are truly blessed to have known you Jeanie and we can't wait to meet you Heaven! Love always from Andy & Kara Murray!

So many memory's I do not know where to start. Jeanie was more than a friend to me she was so much a part of my life. Jeanie was a very giving person to family and friends. Mommy, Alice, Henry, Jeanies Aunt, she was with her family and close friends as they aged and she helped care for them at their lifes end. She had a good heart and would invite people to her home that she knew had no one. She was a very giving person never met a stranger and had the gift of gab. She very deeply loved Jackie although they did have quite a way of communicating, that was their way and it worked. Ask Jackie about the weedeater experience. I think of her when I need to get busy she would say "lets get cracking". Jeanie was also a very good cook and when I pull my recipie file there she is again. I have spent more time with Jackie and Jeanie then any one else in my life. At the wake I will have a list of memories to share there is too many to post. Her Irish eyes will always be shinning down on Jackie, family and friends and I know she is already planning a party for when we can be there to see her.

Jackie,
Jeanie will surely be missed. She had a unique way of making us laugh and showing us how to enjoy life. We will need to have a BBQ and wait until midnight to eat. She would appreciate that. Please take care. Love you both
