From my heart to yours I am deeply sorry for your loss. Jeanne was one of the most amazing, caring, strong, and loving women I have ever met. I had the honor of meeting Jeanne when I started working at DaVita. I honestly loved her from the moment I met her. Even though she was suffering you never seen her down. She was always smiling and upbeat. People were just drawn to her. I remember the Christmas right after her husband passed I came into work and she had a pile of gifts for my daughter and I. I was moved to tears and I told her she did not have to do that. She said in her nonchalant voice that she did it because she wanted to and to honor her husband's memory. She told me that every year her and Mike would adopt a family around the holidays and that even though he was no longer with us she wanted to continue the tradition and had chosen Bianca and I that year. Jeanne knew my struggle and she just wanted to take some of the burden off me. Which she would do quite frequently. Even though I would tell her to stop doing stuff for me she never did. She was stubborn that way. I would call her my fairy godmother. Always there for me when I least expected it. She was an amazing woman. I used her strenght at times to draw some of my own. I miss her more today than ever. She was always there willing to lend an ear to my everyday trivial problems and stories. Thank you for sharing your mom with us. She would always say how lucky she was to have so many people in her life that care about her. I say that we were the lucky ones for having her in our lives. I know she loved her daughters more than life itself. Kayla was her pride and joy. I know how proud she was of the young woman Kayla had become. I am so sorry for your loss but please know that there are sooo many people grieving right along with you. But in true Jeanne fashion I know she would not want us to be sad.So, everytime I think of Jeanne a smile comes to my face. She will forever be in my heart.##imported-begin##Mercedes Williams##imported-end##
