Jeannine C. LeFrancis

I loved jean she was an amazing person so loving and giving. I was blessed to have been loved by her and to have know such an exceptional person. I'm know she is an angel.

Jeannie's contagious laughter, kind heart and beautiful smile will be missed by so many of us. She lit up a room with her magnificent personality. What a beautiful, wonderful person.

To Jeannie's family and friends I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will never forget that beautiful smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you. And to Jeannie, rest easy you will be missed.

Jeannie, where do I start....you were the one that introduced us to a community of wonderful people by way of the first night I walked into the Valley. There by myself, you took the time to introduce yourself & some of the local people who have since become our friends. Over the years I sooo looked forward to coming to the Valley to see what fun cracks you could toss my way while always taking Andrea's side.... the lively witty banter between all of us will be sorely missed. You, my friend, are one of a kind! Bobby G. & Andrea will miss you oh so very much. In the next couple weeks while I am eating the chocolate walnut pie that we both love so much, I will be fondly thinking of you. Till we see you again.

Sending love and prays to the LeFrancis' family and friends.

To the LaFrancis family, We spent many good times laughing with Jeannie and enjoying her laughter too. She was a special person and we feel glad that we could be counted as two of her friends. Our condolences to all of you at this very sad time. Peachy and Toby Barkman

To the LeFrancis family and Lisa Friedberg.

I met Jeannie at the Lamplighter but Lou met her much earlier at the Chateau Roberto. Our hearts go out to all who knew Jeannie, she was one of a kind and there will never be another person that even remotely gets close to her. During the Lamplighter years Jeannie would drive me on Sunday nights to Merrigan's after we finished work because Lou was bartending. She was always that giving and loving girl! There are so many memories of laughter and hard work and let's not forget the Christmas parties and Saint Pat's Days at the Lamplighter! I am happy my children knew Jeannie she always had a smile and a kiddie cocktail for them with extra cherries and she always took time to talk to them. She had a way of making them feel special even when she was crazy busy. We enjoyed seeing her at the Valley over the past dozen years and even though my children are all grown she always asked about them and teased Lou and I! She just never changed, and I am sure heaven is a better place because of Jeannie. Kate and Lou Kimberlee (Winner) and Sean Commarato

Dear LeFrancis Family, I am so sorry for your loss, god needed another angel that day. Jeannie, thanks for all your positive thinking and that laugh & smile, I will miss you always! Rest easy my friend....

I do not think she realized how many lives she has touched with her friendly smile and quick wit. Jeannie always listened to what my kids had to say like it was the most fascinating information she has ever heard. We are going to miss you 'Miss. Jeannie'!

What a sweet sweet young lady, Jeannie, you WILL be missed.

Jeannie I will miss your smile and your hugs. You touched my life deeply and I am so grateful to have known you.You made a difference. Thank you.

Dear Carol, Bill and Family,
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your beautiful daughter, sister & friend. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

All these wonderful thoughts and words still do not touch on the very special person that was Jeannie. I will cherish the memories of laughing around the table with her and our friends. Jeannie was so funny. She was full of insight and certainly was not afraid to share it. I will forever be honored to have known her. I wish peace and healing to her family and the many friends who mourn this terrible loss.

Jeannie, you were a cherished fan and so much a part of our lives in the Valley. We all will miss you but we will never forget your warmth, smile and all the happy times we shared. Rest In Peace.

Dear LeFrancis Family, I am so sorry for your loss, Jeannie was an amazing person, remembering her fondly from when we were kids. My heart and love goes out to all of you. From the entire Small Family

I consider myself very lucky to have had you as a friend. I will miss you so very much. Gone way too soon! Rest in Peace, lovely lady.

Dear LeFrancis family,
It was an honor to know Jeannine. I won't ever forget the days at the Lamplighter with my mom, dad, brother, and grandfather while she tended bar. She was so vibrant and sweet. As I grew up and she moved on to The Valley, I would come in with my parents at times and she would be there always asking how I was doing and if I was ok. She was a real class act, and although I haven't spent much time with her over the years, she is not a woman I am likely to forget. God Bless your family and Lisa F during this difficult time from all the Commarato's.

Jeannie, I know you are at peace in God's arms. I enjoyed working with you at the Valley years ago & I have thought about you often & so have my children since we moved. You always made my children feel special all the time. They remember the twizzlers you use to give them. My heart is very heavy and you will be missed. You were truly an incredible person & now you are one of God's angel. Until we meet again. RIP my friend.

Jeannie, when they made you sister they broke the mold. You will always live forever in the hearts of those who loved you. Rest in Peace old friend.

Jeannie, you made everyone feel special when they walked through the door. From the first moment we entered, we were welcomed in such a warm way by you. Jim and I will hold you in our hearts forever. Our loss here on Earth is Heaven's gain for sure. Sleep well in God's arms, your hard work here among us is over. "...until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand." -Treacy & Jim Cantwell

Jeannie,
There are no words that can express how we feel about you!
We will remember you forever!
Till we meet again
Love, Glenn & Phyllis

Jeannie was a beautiful wonderful soul on this earth. We will miss her and hold her dearly in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Bill & Carol. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your daughter Jeannine. May she Rest in Peace. Dan & Sharon Daly

Every year we would come out from Colorado to visit my dear parents and brothers and we would always make sure we would eat at the Valley Restaurant just so we could say Hi to Jeannie! :). She always made you feel special and had a great sense of humor! Her smile would always light up the room!:) Jeannine you will be missed but never forgotten!!! Jeannie THANK YOU for having a positive influence on our kids! :)

I can remember how every summer we would fly out to New Jersey to visit our grandparents and the first thing we wanted to do was go to The Valley to see Jeanie! She was always so kind to us and always lit up the room with her energy and smile. Jeanie, you will truly be missed, thank you for all of the great memories.

Words fall short of expressing our sorrow for the loss of Jeannie. She was a fun, loving and caring person who will greatly be missed. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Dear Jeannie,
You may never have known how we felt about you, but - Jan and I loved you. For your kindness, your honesty, and your friendship. I will always remember that when my wife Jan passed, and I realized she would come back to me somehow in pink. The next time I went to The Valley - you said "I'm gonna make you something Pink!". You had never made me anything Pink. You Knew. Just as you know now - you are loved! You will be missed by so many. I am glad I got to give you a big hug the last time I saw you. Rest in peace Jeannie - you were, and will forever be, a beautiful friend. <3

Jeannie, knowing you was an exceptional experience. You were a very vibrant person who spoke boldly, but compassionately and cared about so many neat things. We will see you in every wave that makes its way to the shore. We will see you in every crisp blue sky and shining stars at night. Your gone too soon but your legacy will live on in the many great memories you and others created one moment and one person at a time. The Valley will never be the same. I hear your laughter echoing...love and peace to all those whose hearts are simply broken and their spirits crushed at this time. I weep with you...

May you be in the arms of Jesus

With a heavy heart. I have watched the clouds of sorrow. Overtake those who have loved you. My hope for all is. Soon these clouds will lift. The sunshine, that is the memories of you and the joy having known you. Will fill the hearts of all who loved you as I have. You will be forever missed.

Jeannie was a sweet, wonderful, fun, caring woman who will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by all who had the honor and pleasure of knowing her. Our hearts are broken..we will miss her so. Our love to her entire family--we will be keeping you in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time and the many days to come. With love and deepest sympathy, Donna & Paul

Jeannie your energy, way with words, and glowing smile will be missed greatly--your spirit lives on in all that met you.

RIP Jeanie. You will be missed by all. You touched so many lives and we are all that much better for knowing you. You always made us smile no matter what. I know you will always be watching over us all. "Sunshine" and Janie

Such a joy to be around, you made everybody smile, you will be tremendously missed and thought of by so so many everyday. RIP Jeannie so glad to know someone like you! xo
