I was shocked to hear of Jeanne's passing. Although we had not been in touch for more than 30 years, she had a place in my heart. We had been friends during our formative years - high school and college. After she moved up to San Francisco, we lost contact with one another. I recently saw her in April, at a memorial service for another friend from the past. It was kind of like picking up where we had last left, without all the years in between.

To my dear sister in Christ, Jeanne:
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
I remember the very time I met Jeanne. She was this vibrant young gal that showed the love of Christ in everything that she did and said. She flowed with the joy of serving Him wholeheartedly. Jeanne was one of the first ladies that I met at the BSF leader's meetings early at 6:55 a.m. She always had a nice smile, and a very joyful laugh. She made me felt so welcome even though I was very new in the leaders group. She was so helpful in so many ways in seeing me through my first year in BSF. She was so gifted in so many areas, but yet very humbled. I admired her dependence upon the Lord when she had several heart issues in which we all prayed for healing. Even though her health condition did not seem good, she exhibited great strenght and trust in the Lord. I will miss Jeanne and know that God has great and rich rewards for her in heaven. Dearest Jeanne, thank you for touching my life with you loving care. Love,in Him, Jenny Lee

This tribute was added by Jeffrey Lew on 3rd July 2017
"For those who don't know me, I am Jeanne's cousin Jeffrey, my cousin Jeanne was on my father's side of the family; she was her brother's oldest sister. It appears that she moved from LA to San Francisco by choice to pursue a lifestyle and career change. I was not very close to Jeanne, but nevertheless, she was a very important person to me. When I heard of her passing away last week, I was appalled by the circumstances that lead to her life being aborted while in surgery. 
   In addition to the aforementioned information regarding Jeanne being my first cousin on my dad's side of the family. She would be remembered as a person who appears to live life and enjoy life to the fullest. Jeanne's demeanor appears to be a jovial person with a smile that attracted a lot of attention. 
   Rest in Peace Jeanne"

Jeanne was more than a career counselor to me. When I first got to Haas the fall of 2014 I was lost and didn't know what I wanted to do. I remember my first meeting with her she was so blunt she almost made me cry -- but she was also so good. I listened to her advice and with each meeting she noticed my improvement and eventually we developed a deep friendship. She is the same age as my mom and we made plans for them to even meet. I remember she hang a poster in her office for the longest time with words she associated with me - inspired, creative etc.. so that each time I went there she would make me see how special I am. I still remember last summer when we had our happy hour in the city after I got my first internship, she told me how she wants to meet me for years to come, so she can see the amazing leader I blossomed into. I will never forget you Jeanne, and I will never let you down.

Jeanne and I were work colleagues for six years and when I needed someone to help me transition from traveling abroad to working abroad, she was my career coach. I asked her because I knew I needed that tough Chinese love, but instead she was kind, supportive, and helped me see possibility where I used to see walls. I might not be where I'm at right now if not for the confidence she helped bring back out of me and for the reminders of what I am capable of. For that, she'll be supremely missed but thank you, Jeanne, for such a meaningful and lasting gift. Hope you are having a laugh somewhere and looking around saying as you often did, "Life is good. I have no complaints."

I met Jeanne in 1991 when she came to work at a start-up I co-founded. We quickly became friends--because how could we not! We joked we were sisters under the skin. Jeanne taught me how to make the best wontons, to love beef chow fun, and to order dim sum in Chinese. I learned everything I know about marketing from her. Every morning started out with a text ("Good morning, Chica!"); the conversation continued throughout the day. I still pick up the phone once or twice a day to share something I think she'd appreciate.

We argued, laughed, debated politics and religion, shared recipes, talked about family, consoled each other, and supported each other through challenges large and small. She called me out when she was worried about me or a decision I'd made, and I returned the favor. Because that's what sisters do.

I learned an awful lot about perseverance, stubbornness, grace and determination in the face of all odds from Jeanne. I miss her every day.

I'm so sad I'll miss Jeanne's memorial service. I'll be out of town. Will anyone be video recording it?

I was in tears when I heard the news that Jeanne is longer with us. Jeanne had touched my life while in BSF. We met several times for lunch and drinks, she had always shown a concern for me when I was going through difficult times. Our lifes took paths that separated us geographically and we haven't met for several years. 

My dear sister in Jesus, we will meet on the other side. You are missed. Your kindness and good heart will forever be with me. Boy, I wished I could have had one more lunch with you.

I just learned of Jeanne's death. I had just met with her for lunch a month prior to surgery and we both discussed. I promised to pray for her and just remembered last week I needed to reach out and see how her recovery was going.  Jeanne was full of love and joy for life. Always laughing and looking to the positive. A believer and supporter in people and their potential and a deep and profound faith in whatever life brought her was at God's hand. May she rest in peace now in a place full of abundant love.

My dear sister in Christ,
I miss you so much! I still can't believe that you are gone. Our last meal shared was on May 25th, 2017, right before your surgery. You were so brave to take the risk and not look back. You suffered much through so many surgeries in your life but you never complained. You were always hopeful and lived life to the fullest. I could always count on you for your honest opinions. You gave more than you received and ended up being blessed more! Your relationship with Jesus meant so much to you that you knew what it meant to please God. You were such an amazing sister in Christ. You meant a lot to me!

Breathe, skip, run, & jump for joy! You can do all that you couldn't do here on earth in the presence of our Lord in your signature smile!!

Screaming into the wind

July 8, 2017

I spend the most time with Jeanne back in the mid-2000s when we were both having a hard time in life. We spent a lot of time talking, cooking garlic eggplant, and taking walks at Crissy Field. On a number of occasions we decided we just needed to scream out our frustrations as loud as we could. We walked up to the chain-link fencing near Fort Point and literally opened our mouths as wide as we could and screamed! We got some funny looks, but it felt good to be "weird" with a friend. I miss you, Jeanne and send you lots of hugs. I'm so thankful for our times together.
