June 24th, 2026

My condolences and prayers go out to you all. Jeanne was my 1st OT 20+ yrs ago. Her caring heart and mind of endless ideas as an OT made her the BEST that I've ever had over all these years! She went above and beyond to figure out how to solve everyone of my needs, including bringing a Bakers Rack to my home! That was the depth of her commitment to her patients. She always lit up the room with her smile and laughter. She could also get my attention in a hurry when she was serious about something. I was blessed to have her come see me last year. It had been a long time, but she was still the same special one of a kind person who I am truly blessed to have known. God bless you all.
