Steve, Leslie and Michael It is with fond memories that I think of Jeanne whom you lost a year ago. I often think of her as I drive down Marion Street. I met her several years ago while she was doing her stints with the DPS School Board. For nineteen years I served as the co-chair of Inter-Nerghobrhood Cooperation's Dollar Dictionary Drive which raised funds and provided a dictionary and a thesaurus to every third-grader in 108 DPS schools. Jeanne was an avid supporter of this effort and I got to know her as a sincere, selfless and caring indivdual even beyong her commitments to education. I always felt that she was a friend. It was always a pleasure to encounter her at a function, or even in the super-market. She always projected warmth with a welcoming demeaner that made one feel like part of her family. It's hard to part with loved ones under any conditions, as I know too well. I know you will always remember the love and caring she had for you and the countless ways she exemplified that. She is also missed by her great family of friends and associates. Steve Nissen, Denver

My memories of Jeanne are mostly of years ago, but are still sharply positive: Mother of God baseball, Moore School, that kind of thing. Quite a person. What a loss.

Jeannie Kaplan was a force of nature and it was one of the joys of my life to be included in her world. I don't remember how I met her. I knew Steve first, and then somehow I started almost living at 818 Marion, becoming the woman who stayed for dinner two or three nights a week for several years. I always felt welcomed, (at least by Brandeis,) and had the honor of babysititng him when Leslie was born. Jeanne was the world's best and most enthusiastic mother, and I learned so much from her. And what a household she ran: Leslie and Michael, and then her wonderful parents Sophie and Morris coming for long visits. And Steve, whom she adored, and teased, and who reveled in the chaos, but pretended not to. So many at the services today remembered the political, passionate fighter. I knew that woman, but the one I loved was the one who saw the lonely young woman I was, invited me in, and made me a "chosen sister". We sat around in our nightgowns, and ate way too many brownie sundaes while kids and dogs played at our feet. I loved her so very much and will never forget her.
