Jeanie will always hold a special place in my heart. As a young girl my sister and I always looked up to her and wanted to be just like her. She was so full of life and I feel that I am a better person for having known her. I send my prayers to all of my family and her friends. You will be truly missed Jeanie and I willl always love you! I know you will always be watching over us.

I can honestly say that my sister Katie and I didn't just love Jeanie, we idolized her. Everyone says that Jeanie was so full of life…which she was…but for me, everything she did was almost magical. Her wonderful spirit and kind heart were contagious. Being around Jeanie made you feel a little bit more alert, a little bit more awake, a little bit more alive. I think of her and pray for her and my entire family often. Much love to all.

My sweet cousin Jean will be sadly missed by us all who knew of her great spirit of life & laughter. We all grew up together(our mothers being sisters) & our visits and sleepovers as big families were some of the best memories I have of her. Along with many fun times as "grown-ups" who really were kids at heart because of her joy of life. May God keep her as one of His many angels to watch over us here on earth, as now she is in Heaven with many of our beloved family members smiling with her light shining out to all who knew & loved her dearly. God bless my family & keep her spirit alive in all you do. Miss you Jean!!!!!

I was only fortunate enough to meet Jean a handful of times, but each was very memorable. She was full of life, vitality, and an unmistakably quick wit. I am sure her loved ones are left with many more wonderful memories than myself, and I surely hope that you may always hold on to these. My sincerest sympathies go out to you all upon your loss.

There have been many sunrises and sunsets since I last saw Jean. Never have I seen a happier, more full of life and energetic person. We shared a lot of good memories and I cherish each one. She will be dearly missed and I wish her family all the strength and love from God to help them through this most difficult time.

Jean was my wonderfully fun-loving friend during my extended College Park years and almost each memory I have is in some way connected to her. Her spirit was free, her personality full of life and generosity, and her friendship worth cherishing. I am saddened to know that none of us will have a chance to create one last Jean memory as "grown-ups"!

My memories of Jean include her laughter and smile. She was very friendly and outgoing, and always made a special effort to do nice things for the people in her life. I am very blessed to have had her for a godmother, and also blessed to have known such a wonderful, vivacious person. She will be missed.
