    I was trying to get to Arkansas this coming weekend, but unfortunately my stay in Chicago for work has been extended. Jeanne was dearly loved by both myself and my family since we met her about 10 years ago. She was an extraordinary lady who truly enriched the lives of everyone she met! My prayers go out to Jay, Carol and the whole family as I know they will truly miss her more than any of us ever could. She lived her life to the fullest for the Lord everyday and was a great example to others. I’ll never forget her on this last Halloween emailing me to ask me how she could pray for me, because God told her she should on a day that I really needed the prayer along with the encouragement she was so gifted with giving.

    Jeannie was such an inspiration to all of us who were blessed to have her in their lives. She shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout her Cancer journey, and long before.
    She was such an example of living out one’s Faith.
    I was so saddened by her death, but happy for her.
    I will so miss her until I see her again in Heaven.
