It took my breath away to hear the news of Jeannie. I am so sorry for each of your heavy hearts in NC and the ARC everywhere and for all who knew her. When I think of Jeannie I think of a passionate, blonde, fabulous, pistol, crackerjack, thinker and strategizer always with new ideas with never ending, consistant, enduring, unsurpassed loyalty to those she served and those she chose to love with a laugh that made you feel like you belonged. I am sending you love and light and will be thinking of you all.
Lovingly,
Christine O'Leary

I was deeply saddened to hear about Jeannie's passing, having the privilege to have been a co-worker with Jeannie she was truly an amazing woman who was always ready to step up for the cause. Her tireless efforts and dedication to the American Red Cross mission as well as her sense of humor will be greatly missed. We are all blessed to have known Jeannie.

My thoughts are with all those who Jeannie loved most. She made life brighter for all of us who knew and worked with her and she proved to be one of the bravest people I've ever known.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I didn't know Jeannie but I've shared your struggle and fight against cancer in my own family. All my prayers are with you and those that loved Jeannie. She's at peace now and no longer in pain. May God help you through this difficult time.

Among the many things Jeannie will be remembered for at the Roanoke Valley was her support during Hurricane Katrina. Without her support, many would not have been served. She will be missed.
