We have many fond memories of Jeanne, at the family gatherings. We appreciated her creative, upbeat personality, her poetry, and stories. Our children and Penny really enjoyed the times spent painting their carefully chosen molds in Jeanne's work area. We will miss our chats at the family table, after holiday meals. We send much love to the Edwards' family, and know they will smile when they think of their mother/ grandmother/ great-grandmother.

Dear Edwards Family, For a number of years I, along with some girlfriends went to Jeannie's for ceramic classes. What fun they were. Jeannie was a wonderful, kind & oh, so funny at times. She will be missed. I enjoyed visiting her at Warren Haven whenever I was in Hackettstown. My condolences to her family.
