May her memory be a blessing. Memory eternal.
Jeanne and I were classmates at Mercy. She was fun, nice, friendly. I always enjoyed talking with her. We lost track of each other after high school but would bump into each other occasionally. It was always good to see her and catch up on each other’s lives. My sincere condolences to her family. I know how much she will be missed. May God rest her soul.
