Dear Larry, Kelly & Chris,

Jeanne was a true individual and dynamic presence whenever she was with people. She definately made her presence known in a most positive and humorous way and strived to enjoy life at every turn.

She will be missed by many, many people...for her humor, her quick wit, her caring, and her love of life. Sorry we are unable to be there to say goodbye. God bless all of you.

To the family: I worked with Jeanne for many years and often had reason to depend upon her for information or scheduling: she was a competent and cheerful person who made work under often difficult circumstances not only easier but far more pleasant than it might have been. She is and will be missed by many who recall her cheering laughter, my wife Marsha and I among them.

Jeanne was such a great woman! Always greating her friends with a huge smile and welcoming those who did not know her with such warmth, they too soon became a friend. I loved Jeanne for her kindness to me over the years - I will miss her terribly and will try to be as good a person as she was.
