I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you Alex but spent a great deal of time with Jeanne socially when she and I lived in Laurel, and knew her and at work as well. We lost touch when she moved away but I will forever remember all the fun times and talks we had. I know her loss leaves a huge hole in both your and DeeDee's hearts as well as so many others. She will be so very missed.

Jeannes' passing breaks my heart. We grew up together in Oakview...we were friends immediately, and went all through school together. As adults, we went out dancing to clubs together, Ocean City vacation,...we shared many long talks and laughed and cried together. I will never forget her giggles...and that quick beautiful smile, She always was first to lend a helping hand. I admired her accomplishments as well as her brilliant mind! The last time I saw her was at our last reunion as we were both leaving, ...we were comparing our multiple back surgery and wondering why us?? We promised to stay in touch..but as life is so busy, that was our last goodbye. My heart goes out to you Alex...she told me that night that you were the love of her life...I know how much she will be missed..she was one of the bright stars that will always shine...My heartfelt sympathy to all who she loved and to all who loved her.
sincerely,

Its is said that when a person dies, they leave a hole behind them. The hole Jeanne left in my life is profound. She opened the door and inspired me to discover art and music. She always had a kind word and unconditionally gave me a soft place to land when life tripped me up. I just can't imagine Jeanne further than a phone call away. I will miss that so much. The world is dimmer place without her here. I hope her beautiful wings have taken her far beyond the pain she so bravely endured.

Rest in peace, Aunt Jeanne.
