Jean left her wisdom in the minds of lots of parents, she gave my children a better start. She inspired me with her teaching ability. She had the art of assisting in the discovery of young children.

Dear Jan & Cindy,
I was so sorry to read about your mom's passing. I haven't seen any of you since high school, but I remember your mom as always being warm and friendly, inviting me in to your home as if I were family. I was also involved in Girl Scouts with you. I hope your memories of your mom will help you through this difficult time. She was an exceptional lady! God Bless

Remembering Jeanne:
After Bob passed away, Jeanne came to a "Preserving Our Past" writing class knowing how much we enjoyed Bob's writing. We enjoyed her as much as we enjoyed Bob, however she had so many other interests where she felt her talents were needed, and rightfully so. I know she touched many people. My deepest sympathy for the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Jeanne and Bob Simpson.

Dear Cindy and Jan,
My thoughts are with you and your families at this sad time. Your mother was the most wonderful person. I have many happy memories of the years my five children were at 'Guide & Grow' It was a pleasure to be around Jeanne and my children still talk about 'Mrs Simpson' and the time they attended the school.
With deepest sympathy,

Dear Cindy & Jan,
We are saddened by the news of your mom's passing.
We have fond memories of the years we were neighbors on Bancroft Street & our interesting conversations with both Bob & Jeanne.
The last time we saw them was while on vacation in Pacific Grove & we ran into them at Toasties during breakfast.
They were both such fun - positive people & fine human-beings.
Our thots & prayers are with you & your families.

Jeanne was such a fun person to spend time with. I will always remember our time together at the garden club meetings with happiness. She brought such joy into the world. I will miss her.
