GUEST BOOK

Jeannie was my Best friend. My heart is broken. I'll love her forever and may God keep her in your loving arms.. God bless you, Jeannie, I'll see you again some day. Please God take care of her family.

- Judy Edwards Desotelle, Green Bay\Gulf Shores, Wi. / Al.

I worked closely with Jeanne at Isle of Hope School. She was a lovely person with a great sense of humor. Part of our responsibility was bookkeeping. We used to tease that we were like "Lucy and Ethel attempting to balance the books." She was smart and kind. She loved her family and friends. She was a beautiful glowing light in a world that knows darkness. She will be missed by family and friends. My deepest sympathy to her family.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Sandy and Pete. So many memories of school days and swimming at the dock. She was so funny and made me laugh every time we were together. I know the days she spent at IOH school brought smiles to everyone. Prayers for all of her family.
