So sorry to hear about your mother. I knew your mother and dad many years ago. He and I were football officials. I met your mother several times. I especially remember a cookout we had at our house. Both Jack and Jeanne were wonderful friends. Again, my sincerest condolence on the death of Jeanne.

I probably spent as much time, as a teenager, at the Browne home as I did my own. Thank you Jeanne, same spelling as my Mom, for all the friendships, kind words, groceries, and for making me laugh when you gave me that special smile right after giving Steinie a stern command. It was almost as funny as when his yelling back and then giving me the same smile.

My deepest condolences go out to your family, it's never easy losing a loved one. You might take comfort in God's promise found at Revelation 21:4 where he says "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." This verse gave me some hope when I experienced loss, I pray it will do the same for you. May your warm memories also give you strength to endure this hard time.
