Don, Marina, Sierra & Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and comfort you now and in the days ahead and give you peace in your heart. Jeanne was such a sweet person so dedicated to God and her church. She dearly loved her husband, children and family. Was so proud of her children and grandchildren. I always enjoyed seeing the pictures. She was such a good friend/cousin and will be greatly missed. I can picture Jeanne right now with a big smile on her face while Jesus, Ms. Dorothy, Mr. Billy & others take her on a grand tour of heaven. Can you imagine the beautiful sights she is seeing.
Love & prayers,
Drucilla Johnson

Jeanne was such a special young lady that was always there to help whenever needed by anyone at church. Here she is playing for her daughter Marina during a church service. She was devoted to her family and her church family, and touched many lives with her sincere generosity to others. We love you Jeanne and will see you again in glory. Love Jimmy and Debbie Ruffin.
