Jeanne was a very special person. I am sorry that I cannot attend the celebration of life due to health reasons, but my deepest sympathies to the family. She loved you all and was always eager to talk of you. She left a great legacy and lived a life of accomplishment and service and will be missed by so many.

I met Jeanne in high school--our friendship continued throughout our lifetime here in Hot Springs. I attended many of her estate sales and she was a happy and proud mother and grandmother. My prayer is that God will comfort you and give you peace as only He can. Lovingly, Pat Muse
