So sorry to hear of Jeanne’s passing. She was a friend of my mother, Drucilla South Fleming who passed in June 2013. Jeanne loved her hamburgers and my mom thought Jeanne would pass first because of what she ate. But, all the other Golden Girls passed before Jeanne and may they ALL rest in peace together. They had many good times together thru the years.
