Dear Janet, Bill and Eddie (probably Ed, by now),
This is one of those times I wish I still lived in Eustis, because I would certainly come to pay my respects to Jeanne and give you all a hug! A friend of mine in the area saw the obit in the paper and called me this morning. I live near Greenville,SC now. I always respected Jeanne and have so many good memories of especially swimming parties your family would have in the summer. A funny story, I remember to this day, is about you,Eddie. We came to a swimming party and everyone was doing their best to get into the house. You were about 2 or 4 then, and you had somehow locked all the house doors with everyone outside and was standing in the back window very happily eating the dog's food! Your mother was a little put out with you, needless to say. So weird, the things we remember. So many memories of good times. Wish we could visit some time!
Your mother was such a gracious, loving lady and had a strong, enduring character that saw her through some tough times. Know there must be a sense of relief in all of you that she has finally been released from the body that no longer worked for her and she is free in heaven with loved ones there. Love and hugs to you all, Betsy McGarity Holloway
