Jim,
Even though it's been a long time since we've seen you, it's hard to believe Mary Jeanne is gone. I loved her sense of humor. I haven't told this before, but she's the one that told me about the birds and the bees when I was about 13. I'm still having trouble believing what she said.
Our love and prayers are with you.

Dear Uncle Jim and Family,
Peggy, Jenna and I were devastated in hearing about Aunt Jeanne. We are having a hard time believing this. She made us feel as a special part of the family, and likewise we hold you all as special to us. I personally remember her saying to me at my recent 60th surprise party, "Ken we are glad you are a part of our family". Jenna and Peg loved her and you Uncle Jim so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Ken, Peggy, Jenna and Mark

Jim and Family -
I can't tell you how sorry I am. Jeanne was a terrific person and will truly be missed. Over the years we shared a lot of laughs and stories. I'm finding this very hard to believe. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, Marilyn Carroll
