I was so pleased to have known and loved Ms Jeanne. I worked for the hospice company who came to care for Ms Jeanne she was my second patient there at Ashley court. Having seen her through the past two years I will always cherish the times I got all the giggles the smiles the laughter and the hugs from Ms Jeanne. I will always remember her tickle feet and the pure joy she always brought to my day. Sending my deepest condolences to Ms Angela and the rest of Ms Jeannes family. I hope you know just how well loved she was by us.

What an honor to be part of Jeanne's life. To get to know the woman she became the last four years of her life was such a pleasure. Her smile and giggle became contagious to all of us. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease because it steals your memories but it doe not steal your heart. Jeanne taught me what is means to be a positive woman in a not so positive situation. She gave great hugs, she loved coming to our activities especially our dances. I will miss you Jeanne. Rest in peace sweet lady. Your friend, Jodi Crow
