I was Jeanne Lee's caregiver for 8 years. We became best friends and she was like a mother to me. I will miss her so much! She was so loved by me and so many friends! Her family was so close to her. She loved when they came to visit her. What a beautiful kind woman. Goodbye Miss Jeanne. We will meet again in Heaven.
