January 18, 2003 - Remembering Jeanne

In 2003, we threw a birthday bash for Jim's mother's 80th birthday.  It was a truly wonderful party, with family and friends all coming together to make the day extra special for Jeanne.  Among the guests were not only all of her children, grandchildren and nieces with their families, but also friends going back to when she was in grade school (our beloved Aunt Peg!). It was day full of good food and lots of laughter, just the kind of celebration Jeanne both enjoyed and deserved. Unfortunately, it was the last birthday we shared with her, as she passed away that summer. But today, on what would have been her 87th birthday, I thought appropriate to remember that wonderful day and all of the happy memories we have of her. We still miss her every day, and will love her forever.
