Hello Johnson Family: I am so sorry I did not receive the sad news about Jeanenne till today. I wish I could have been at the memorial service. Although Jeanenne and I had not been in touch for about 15 years, she had a special place in my heart. When I moved to Savannah at end of my sophomore year in high school, Jeanenne took me under her wing and was my first friend there. With Tricia and John as chaperones, I was indoctrinated into the Tallet sorority as a "Rat" with Jeanenne as my Sponsor. We survived (barely) the disco years together and shared an apartment when Moran was a toddler. Jeanenne had a beautiful heart which she kept protected but when She loved you, She was all in. I sincerely hope Jeanenne had a peaceful passing and I look forward to seeing her again at the pearly gates. God bless your Family,

I haven't seen Jeanenne since high school because I moved away right after graduation but she was always so sweet in school. Always had a smile on her face and an infectious laugh. So very sorry to hear of her passing. My deepest sympathy to all the family.
