My thoughts and prayers go out to all; the world is a bit dimmer with the loss of a wonderful light. Jeanne was always a confidante but mainly a woman of great hope and love for all. I am glad she is no longer in pain but share in your immense grief.

So sorry to hear about Jeanne. We wanted to attend her service, but we will be coming back from Michigan that day after visiting relatives and won't be able to get home in time.

Jeanne was a special lady. She always brightened up a room where ever she was. Rest in peace, Jeanne.
