I am so very sorry that I cannot be there for Jeres services. She was a elegant lady who led the labor movement with strength, appreciation, kindness and laughter. I will miss her smile and friendship. She has passed the torch on to her wonderful family. May peace be with all of you.

Renders the heart heavy to hear of Jerre's passing though can't resist knowing that fairies, angels and a few lucky devils are sharing the joy she bears through humor, insight, strength, and song. With grace and luck, Jerre and Peg and a crew of like souls are likely to raise a little hell to liven souls up in heaven!

What a woman! An incredible power-house and someone who cared. Many fond memories from Res and Siena events. The only really cherished version of Danny Boy is your mom's! Peace to all of you.

Wish I could be there today to celebrate her life with all of you. I will always remember her smile and her sense of humor and how she always made everyone feel special. She had a beautiful voice and I will cherish the times we sang songs together at Kenealy gatherings. I know she is up in heaven singing with all her aunts and uncles, and I know my father (Her uncle Joe) is overjoyed to add her voice to the. heavenly celebration. Prayers and Love being sent to all her family from your cousin in Tucson.

So sorry for your loss. I met a year or so ago at Mars in Lake Geneva. She had just finished singing and the piano player introduced her by name. We spoke for a few minutes. Lovely Lady.
