Jeanne was such a sweet spirit with an easy, sparkling smile. She was deeply loved and will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, sweet Jeanne. IMAGINE… stepping onto a shore and finding it heaven. IMAGINE… taking hold of a hand and finding its God's hand. IMAGINE… breathing new air and finding its celestial air. IMAGINE… feeling invigorated and finding it immortality. IMAGINE… passing from storm & tempest to an unknown calm. IMAGINE… waking and finding it home.
