My sincere condolences to Jeanne’s family. I have missed our lunch dates and long conversations.
Annette and family, my sincerest condolences for your loss. My heart is with you …
My sincere sympathy to Jeanne’s family. For many years we encountered each other at Old South, in Farmington and when our husbands began one of their (long!) enthusiastic conversations. Finally we met again at the Pierce House, where Jeanne’s sweet smile was her response to greetings when we met at mealtimes or group activities. I’m happy that she is once more with loved ones who preceded her.
Annette and Brent – I’m very sorry for your loss. May your Mom rest in peace.
Dear Classmate RIP. Until we meet again. My condolences to all your Family.
My Sympathy and Thoughts to Annette and all of Jeanne`s family. Jeanne was a lovely, kind and sweet woman. I enjoyed
laughing with Jeanne as we peeled potatoes in the Old South Church kitchen and during our chats in the McDonald`s
Coffee Group.
Annette and Julie, so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.
Annette, your mother was such a wonderful, kind person, always giving of herself to others. Her love and caring are reflected in your selflessness to others
