“Some bright morning when this life is over, I’ll fly away to that home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away….”
Fly High!
Mom- I love you so much and I always will ??
RIP Mrs. WIrt. Have a good afterlife with Mr. Wirt.
I never had the pleasure of making Jeanne’s acquaintance, but in many ways I feel I know her well through her sons and daughter, whom I met on social media and became fast friends with.
Losing a mother and friend is never easy, but having family and friends to share the joy of her life and the pain of her loss helps ease the heartbreak.
Thankyou Jeanne for your wonderful life and the mark you made in our world.
I love you, Mom! Always and forever!
We are so sorry for your loss. We will forever love and miss you Grandma Wirt.
In the sweet by in by we will meet on the beautiful shore.
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow high, why then oh why can’t I?
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me, come home come home yea no are weary come home. I love you.
I will always remember our time as neighbors back in the days on Brouster Avenue. Jeanne, my Mom and I would have coffee and talk and just have a fun time cutting up and being silly. While I was only a kid at the time I (me and Mom) would look forward to evenings just because we knew would see Jeanne. Jeanne is one of those people you will always remember with love and never forget. What a wonderful person and what a wonderful friend of fifty plus years.
