Jeanne, my sincere sympathy and kindest thoughts being sent to you, Connor and other family members. Although you had her for such a long life, as I did my mother, it's still hard to accept that "Mom" is no longer there for you. Kindest thoughts and regards.... Mary Covert, Sebring, FL

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived and may the words found at Psalms 90:10 give you comfort knowing she lived a long life.

Jeanne, I was so very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. What a dynamic woman she was. I will miss her smile and her spunk and her wit. I will never forget your mom and all the joy she brought me. I am just grateful that I had the opportunity to take care of her when I did.

Dear Jeanne and Bill, I was so very sorry to hear about your mother, Jeanne. She was such a lovely and energetic woman. My Dad and I always enjoyed our conversations with her, he thought she was so fantastic! To me, she was the epitome of aging gracefully and of keeping one's mind sharp. GeeGee never acted old and was always delighted with the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren around her. She will be dearly missed. Fondly, Sharon Harvey

What a marvelous Godmother Aunt Jean was to me! When I was a child, she always remembered my birthday and never forgot Christmas! I still have the book, The Littlest Angel, which she gave me when I was very young - and I still love it!
Aunt Jean was so full of love and compassion - an example to all who came in contact with her. Her loving support for my Mother, throughout their lives, was such a sustaining force! We all felt it and appreciated her loyalty.
Each one of you is in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days, weeks and months.
