Although our families haven't crossed for many years, I remember your beautiful mother well. Jeanne was a standout with an enthusiasm for life, a great big smile, and an open heart. May you find comfort in the memories of the full life she led.

Dear Donna and Richard our old neighbor Lori emailed me of the passing of your Mother. Ray and I wanted you to know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I only meet your mom the one time but she was just so sweet. I am so pleased I had that opportunity. May your wonderful memories of her help you through this time. You will always miss her but your memories will keep her close to your heart. I know as I lost my mom in 2013 and the happy memories make me smile and know she is always with me as will yours.

When I think of your mom Joan I can see her at morning mass...she always sat on Joseph's side towards the back...she was a sweet and kind woman. May she rest in peace.

Jeanne, we remember your smile and loving presence that graced us in so many ways - your cousins will miss you dearly.
