I was Jeanne's hairdresser while she was here in Vero Beach. She became more than just a client, she was a friend. She was just a pleasure to be in company with. She was very thoughtful, caring, and just a good soul. I really will miss our talks and visits, she was just a beautiful person inside and out, soar high with the angels Jeanne.

Dear Stewart, We feel so blessed to have known Jeanne. The relationship between you two was a joy for us to observe. As you know, I often had a hard time keeping up with her rapid way of talking but I didn't want to miss a word and she did try to slow down for me. Jack and I send our deepest sympathy and love to you and the rest of her family. Marilyn

Stuart,
Just found out about Jeannes passing earlier today and want to send you my sincere condolences. While I never had the opportunity to meet her, every time you spoke of her, the look on your face gave away your deep feelings for her. I know it sounds rather hollow at this time, but I want you to know that if there is anything I can do for you, all you have to do is let me know.

Respectfully, Guy Martin

I remember Jeanne Claire from her arrival in this world as her sister,Susan, and I were then and remain great friends . As I reflect now, I suppose I somewhat watched her grow up. She surely was one lovely person and will be sorely missed by her family for she left this earth much too early. Edith Justice Huber
