In the blink of an eye, we shall be with you, but until then, we are blessed with our memories. Donut and cup of coffee, around the table in the old warehouse, with that original crew...such a blessing!

Time marches on here in the flesh, but to be absent this body is to be present with our Heavenly Father. You are missed, but are home.

I am so shocked to hear about Jeanne! I'm her hairstylist and I simply can't believe she's gone. I will miss her dearly ~ we had great fun and lots of laughs during her visits and I consider her a friend! May her memory be eternal!

I was fortunate enough to have Jeanne as my main point of contact in supporting the computer systems at Pewag. Her laughter was contagious and her friendship true. She will be dearly missed by many and we should take comfort in knowing that she is now in a better place that is pain-free.
