Guestbook
Jeanne was a lovely person and good friend. My life was enriched by knowing her. She will be missed by all of her friends.
We mourn the loss of a fellow parishoner and a longtime friend. Elvia & Jeanne were co-workers in the 1980s before Jeanne went to work at Kelly AFB. We will miss you, Jeanne.
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Jeanne. She was my mother’s first cousin. Though they lived in different states they kept in touch through the years. We heard about her travels around the world and the many friends she had at church and her involvement w/SHH; her friends at Society for the Hard of Hearing. She was a proud Irish Catholic. It was fun to see her and my mother together, you could tell they were related and Mom’s New Jersey accent always came back when they talked. Mom misses her and we miss her.
