I too worked with Jeane during my Lucent Law days and I am very sorrow to hear of her passing. She was a rare gem and a real pleasure to work with. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and hope that their loving memories over time will soften their sorrow.

I learned today of Jeane's passing. I worked with Jeane when she was my assistant in the late 1990s at Lucent Technologies. She was a caring person who spoke often, warmly and with great pride, of her family. My heartfelt condolences on your loss.

I just heard of Jeane's passing this past weekend. We worked together and she really took me under her wing when I started my law career with Lucent Technologies. She was a great
co-worker, but more than that, a wonderful friend. I will miss her newsy Christmas letters. Prayers to you all. Helen

I was so saddened to hear of Jeane's passing. We worked together for years, and continued our friendship long after she retired and moved to TN. I will miss her and will cherish the wonderful memories of times we shared. God has gained an angel, but we have lost a wonderful woman.

"The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand; the sun goes down but gentle warmth still lingers on the land; the music stops and yet echoes on in sweet refrains; for every joy that passes something beautiful remains." May beautiful memories of Virginia give you strength...my prayers are with you all.
