My deepest sympathies to your family. Aunt Jeanne was one of the most warm and welcoming persons I have ever known. One of my very first memories was walking into her kitchen and seeing her baking up a storm. She was wonderful to my grandparents. I always appreciated her visiting with them and keeping in touch. She enriched all our lives. She lived her life to the fullest. She will be truly missed.
