Jeanne was my 3rd grade teacher at St. John's elementary her 1st year out of college. Kenny was an older kid in my neighborhood growing up and her brother John was in my class at SJ. So I got to know both families well over the years. I'm so saddened to hear she's passed on. Please know that she and the whole family are in my thoughts and prayers. She was such a good lady to know in and out of the classroom. Always a smile or a word of encouragement.
