I also met Jeanne in a swimming class. She was a wonderful high spirited woman that I enjoyed very much, she did enjoy life to its fullest ! I am glad I got to know her she g ave me many smiles. I loved looking at her treasures and the many unique ear rings and jewelry that she wore.
Jeanne was one of the most wonderful person I have ever met. I will always remember her. She taught in Hungary several times and we became friends over the years. She was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I will miss her dearly.

Jeanne was perhaps one of the most amazing woman I came across in my entire life. She was an amazing person who would selflessly give herself in for another....... I met her when she came to India to my school. She was so friendly, and gave me so much hope for a better future....... There were no boundaries when it came to her Passion for teaching. She was enthusiastic, active and giving. I learnt many things from her, especially to love and care for another. I'm going to miss her so dearly, but i know that someday, we will meet again above in a better place than the one we live in today....... Till then, Jeanne, May your soul rest in peace.
missing you dearly,

Jeanne was such a special, caring person who knew no boundaries when it came to giving of herself to help so many people and causes. One caught a glimpse of so much of the world and the people Jeanne came to know and create those special friendships from her travels. Something would awaken that restlessness in her and away she would go - teaching, meeting and make new friends. I shall miss our laughs, dinners, cards and especially having known this kind, warm, special friend.

Jeanne is my dearest teacher, brought me to America for facial medical treatment, took care me for 8months, treated me as her daughter, give me specialest love of mother and teacher. Without Jeanne, I never realized that I can be self-confident. I will remeber Jeanne for ever.
Dear Chris, Sydney and Bridget,
I'm so sorry for the sudden loss of your mother.
She was a dear friend. I have many fond memories of her...playing cards, dinners, thrift shopping, traveling and just stopping over for coffee. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a zest for life. I will miss her.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Pat Linck
