I'm so very sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person who has touched all of us in one way or another. I as well have had many great moments with her at her house in Chambers Hill. She was a fun loving person who always gave of her time for everyone. As well as my mom they never had a selfish streak in them. My deepest sorrow as I know where you are coming from, I just lost my mother in April and know the pain that follows. She will be missed and we loved her.

Jeanne has touched all our lives and showed us in her actions the type of person we all strive to be.

I pray that Aunt Jeanne is at peace now. And I am thankful that that now she has no more pain. Her passing has brought back alot of very good memories for me and I will miss her. I didn't get to see her much but I always knew that if I needed something I could call and she would be there. My prayers are with everyone in the family and with her. I love you all.

Dear Ed and Family,

Your wife, mother, sister, cousin was an extremely special person in my life. We clicked because of our no nonsense characters, but at the same time the ability to display compassion (plus, she loved anchovy pizza and we made it a point to try to get together once a month to enjoy those little fish).

I loved her laugh, what a great laugh! We shared so many stories (disasters) about our kids.

This has all been so sudden, but her memories will live on in my heart.

My mother was the wind beneath my wings. She showed me that there is so much more to life than just getting by. I will miss her more than anyone can imagine. I pray that she is at peace now and that she always remembers how much she was loved.
