We were out of town over the 4th, and just read the Beverly Review article. We are saddened to hear about your Mother's death. She had a great impact on all of our lives and will be missed.

Dear Phillip, Arlene and family,

We knew your mom and sister as Miss Connelly. She was my (and my sister's) 7th grade teacher at Parker Elementary. She was a wonderful inspiration, with boundless enthusiasm, energy and heart. There was no one like her. She was also a dear longtime friend of our mother, Mildred McGrath and our family all these years. What a well lived life! Our deepest sympathy to you.

Phillip, we just learned of your Mother's death and are terribly sorry that we were unable to express our sorrow to you in person. It was our good fortune to witness the intelligence, grace and energy Jeanne brought to all phases of her life. The world is a less interesting place without her. Requiescat in pace. Sincerely, Loretta and Ann Acker

Dear Philip, Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your Mom. I worked at Kellogg with her for a short time and found her to be one of the most interesting women I had ever met. She was a very informed woman. I know she will be missed.
