Kathy, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jeanne's passing from Audrey. I had talked to her right before her surgery & she wanted to come over here to Palm Harbor to see Lisa & I as soon as she recovered. Alas, this wasn't meant to happened. Sadly my daughter Lisa also passed away on Dec. 20th. I loved your Mom & Dad......we clicked as soon as we met. So, so sorry for your loss.

Kathy & Family,
I have known and loved Jeanne since we started St Pat's together as classmates. She learned responsibility at an early age since she was the oldest sibling. I remember how kind she was to all her younger sisters and classmates. She did everything with gusto.....even jumping rope and studying. She is well prepared for eternity. God love her!

Kathy and Family: So sorry to see the death notice for Jeanne. I will always remember the good times at Continental Bank - we had many a laugh. May she rest at peace in heaven.

Kathy, What a shock to hear of your mom's death. Rose Siciliano telephoned me yesterday, 11-29-14, with the news. I tried calling you by phone 3 times, but the operator said the party you called is not available. Oh, what fond memories I have of your family while we were living on Summerdale Ave. in Chicago. Your mom & your family will be remembered in my daily prayers. Love, Marilyn Gagne, now living in FL the last 22 years.

Kathy and Family,
Am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have wonderful memories of her living on Oketo and Summerdale. I'll never forget that she taught me how to crochet!! A good person and a blessing to her family! May God keep you and your loving family in His care at this very difficult time!
