Jeanie, you will be missed greatly. Even after all the years that have passed, I can still hear your voice and the laughter we shared many, many times in person and over the phone. Your love for the Lord oozed from every pore of your being. Take your deserved place in the great cloud of witnesses, my friend. Much love to you, and wishes of comfort for your family.

I worked for Dr. Harkinson and Jean was a favorite patient as well as her mother Louise. She was very up-beat and put some much needed spice into our day. I also remember Jean at Macy's always ready and willing to help. God rest your soul, Jean, and thanks for such good memories. Cindy M. Pappas

Hi,so sorry to learn of Ms. (Zesiger) Falconer's passing. I have some very fond memories of her house in Manchester where the boys grew up. Playing basketball in the driveway and all. My prayers are with her family.
