My condolence's to Jeanne's family. Jeannie was such a sweet lady. She always wanted the best for her children. I never heard her say anything negative. So sorry to hear of her passing. She was a special person.

To Jeanne's family- Jeanne was a delightful person. She always had a kind word for me, and I enjoyed working with her at Genworth Financial, and I will miss her. May the Lord give you all peace during this difficult time.

We both worked at Genworth Financial, and she was such a nice person to work with. I enjoyed listening to her NY accent, and hearing about the children she loved so much. She was so sweet and sincere, when my mother passed, and I will never forget her for her kind words of comfort. I am one of many that will miss her very much. May God give comfort to her family*
