I probably would never have gotten the opportunity to meet Jeanne, Ilene or Suzie if it hadn't been for our shared interest in family history. It was a pleasure meeting them all and nice to connect faces and personalities with the names on the family tree. Jeanne was such a fun, kind, and giving person. My most sincere condolences go out to her family and friends. I'm sure many people will be grieving her loss.

I had the extreme pleasure of getting to know Jeanne the past 6 months. I truly feel blessed that I was able to spend time with her. She always had a smile-hug and kiss ready for me, she made me feel welcome and part of the family.. We had a few private conversations that will forever be in my heart. The pride and love she had for her family was very apparent..May you all find peace now that her pain is over and she can finally rest in peace. Love You All

I too would not have had the opportunity to meet Jeanne, Ilene & Suzie if it hadn't been for our shared interest in family history. It was so exciting to meet them all. Jeanne was a fun, easy person to talk with because she was so caring. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

To "Jane", John, And Jeanne's family. I wanted to let you know how sad I was when I heard of Jeanne's passing. She is now at peace and released from her suffering. What really makes me sad is that she and I only knew each other briefly...on the phone. I think we would have gotten to be good buddies, and I really wish it could have worked out for me to go and stay with her, had she been able to go home last year from the Annex. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

You have left this Earth, but You'll always live in my "HEART & MIND"! YOU ARE THE 1! I LOVE YOU, Emanuel
