Chuck, Diana, Rebecca, Emily and families: While the passing of our parents and older loved ones is expected, losing your mother and grandmother is never without feeling great loss and grief.

May you feel God's peace and presence as you face the days ahead without her. Thinking of you....Jim & Norma

Jeff and I worked with Jeanne for many years at Urbana University, or more specifically Urbana College way back then. While I worked in the Registrar's Office in Memmott Hall, Jeanne was a short walk away in the library. She was always a delight to work with, and she was especially helpful finding things for me in the library's collections. We treasure the years we spent together as part of the Urbana family. We are deeply sorry for your loss. May God fill your hearts with wonderful memories of your beloved Jeanne and grant you peace during this time of great sorrow.Jeff and Kathy Yoder
