Sis, I still miss you terribly. You were my best friend for life, and I miss all the life experiences we shared -- sleeping together and hugging each other in our double bed, playing in the yard, raising our kids, traveling around the country to visit each other, singing together while washing the dishes, and one of my favorite memories -- running all over Italy, crashing the car when the tire blew out, visiting cousins, coffee every morning at the cafe across from our Roman apartment, carrying leftover pizza all through the Coliseum, crying when you had to return home while I stayed behind. And now... you've returned "home" again while I'm staying behind. I hate that you left so suddenly... easy for you, but really hard for the rest of us. I love and miss you a lot.
It's been a month today, Sis. Do you still hear me talking to you?
Well, Jeanne... The line at your visitation was three hours long. I was surprised... and yet not surprised. Pirro had to keep the doors open for all that extra time. There were your husband and children, of course, but also siblings, school friends, cousins, in-laws, former co-workers, lunch friends, church friends, fellow volunteers, neighbors, childhood friends, and many more. At one point, I walked down the line and asked if I should order a pizza for them. Your church service was broadcast online, and I heard from people who watched it from out-of-town.
Everyone said what a wonderful person you were. You're the kind of human we all should hope to be. I will miss you forever. We all will miss you forever. Put in a good word for us, and give Mom and Dad a hug.
Prayers for Jeanne’s family and friends. I knew Jeanne as a fellow participant at the 8 am daily mass at Blessed Sacrament.

I worked with Jeanne at Syracuse Housing. She was a great supervisor and friend. Always listened to your issues and helped with a good conclusion. After retirement we stayed in touch and we celebrated birthdays and also with three other co-workers. Will miss making fudge rolls we made just before Christmas. I am sure I was not a great help but just spending time, talking, and being around Jeanne was the best. She truly was a good friend and human being. My husband is a Vietnam Veteran and every Veterans Day she would send him a card on Veterans Day. That will be missed.
I have spent the last 4 days remembering Jeanne and the wonderful friend she has been to me for the last 68+ years I have known her. She took me under her wing when I started 4th grade at St John the Evangelist school; I was terrified transferring from public school to "the nuns"! So many memories, they have all come crashing in and to say she was like a sister to me, is an understatement. She was dedicated to family, faith and love for all. She completed her earthly mission to God and man, so He called her gently and peacefully home to Him. Rest In Peace my beautiful friend. Until we meet again, I Love You
My love and prayers to the Maurillo and Sullivan families. Jeanne was a beautiful soul and she will be remembered for her true friendship. She will be missed.
