Mike and Sherry, I’m sorry for your loss.
Several years ago, I spent a pleasant morning with Mrs. Lance discussing George Masa, famed Japanese photographer, who lived for a time in the Creaseman home when Mrs. Creaseman was a very young girl. I remember her as a warm, charming woman who made me and my fellow interviewer immediately welcome. That morning yet stands out in memory as does my warm feelings for Mrs. Lance,a wonderful woman. I send my deepest sympathy to the family during this time of sadness and loss.
My condolences to Sherry and the rest of the family. I work with Sherry and have become good friends. My prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
Jeanne was a wonderful person, mother and wife. She was part of our family by relation for many years. I will always remember her for all she did.
Mike, sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.
Thinking and praying for you and your family. Mrs. Lance is in a better place.
Thinking of you Mike and Sherry and your families. Jeanne was a very special lady. A huge part of my mom and my son’s life. She was a true blessing to us all.
My thoughts and prayers for all of you.
Sorry to hear about loss of your Mom. Praying for you Mike and family. Gerald and Carolyn Stamey
Hello Mike, I know its been a few years but I’m so sorry for her passing and your loss. Your mom was so kind to me when I was working on the Mystery of George Masa documentary film and I loved hearing her stories. Mike I think I met you when I was over visiting with Jeanne one day returning some photographs. If you could give me call or e-mail I’d appreciate it very much. I’m still working on some research about Masa and some new things have come up I’d like to talk to you about. Thank you.
