Michael DuVall wrote a sympathy message

“Jeanne was an inspiration to me. Her graduation from college motivated me to higher education. When talking with her, it was not idle chatter. She was a good storyteller. I miss that. There was always a twinkle in her eyes and an eager smile. I miss that, too.”
