tribute by Tom NeelenJeanne always had that sweet smile and friendly way. My husband and I would see Jeanne and Bill "power walking" at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena and also at some of the car shows. Jeanne looked absolutely beautiful at our 50th reunion .... it's so hard to believe that just 2 months later she's gone. I feel priviledged to have known her ... she always brightened my day when I saw her, as she always greeted me with her wonderful smile and her sweet words. Rest in peace, Jeanne. God's peace to Bill and their family.
