Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. My thoughts are with Jeanne's family. I know how involved you were with her care, and I know how she loved you all. I last saw her in August this year when I was in Ohio.

    I used to help exercise and train Jeanne and Barney's horses. I treasure my memories of our shared love of the horses and of Denver, and I will always remember how loving and supportive Jeanne and Barney were of me. They were there for me during a sensitive time in my life and I've never forgotten that. Jeanne will be missed. My condolences to you all.

  2. So very sorry to hear about Jeanne. I have so many wonderful memories of her when I was young on Eagle St. She always made me laugh.

  3. So very sorry for your loss. May your wonderful memories always keep her close in your heart. Prayers for healing for the family.

  4. My deepest sympathy to the Dubsky family in your loss. Jeanne was a great lady and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.

  5. My deepest syphathy to Jeannie's family for which I have had the pleasure to get to know over the past years. The”matriarch” as I lovingly used to call her will be greatly missed!

  6. My sister Jean Westfall and I send our sympathy to Jeannie's family. We haven't seen her since our retirement but have many happy memories of working with her in Madison schools. she touched many lives.

  7. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. It's beyond difficult when we lose a loved one in death. Even harder is the question whether or not we will see them again. Because we miss them dearly. The Bible gives us an encouraging answer though. At 1Corinthians 15:26 it brings out that Death is an enemy and that it IS to be brought to nothing. (New World Translation ). The King James version says Death will be “destroyed “. Acts 24:15 also says that “there will be a resurrection” though of our loved ones. Think, how you feel right now at this tragic point in you and your family's lives. Riddled with unbearable pain. It can be reversed. Sadness , mourning, tears seemingly endless. The book of Revelation gives us that unimaginable hope. Unimaginable yet Garunteed, God's word tells us, “he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed”. So the answer to that daunting, disheartening question of whether or not you will see them again is Yes. You can see your loved ones again. Think how that reunion will be. You'll no doubt feel how a family mentioned in the Bible felt when Jesus resurrected their daughter at Mark 5:42. “They were beside themselves with great ecstasy “. But for now, know that God can and will comfort us in all our trials if we let him (2 Corinthians 1:4).

  8. Jeanne was our daughters 3rd grade teacher at Red Bird elementery in Madison and Denise really loved her because she could really whistle! Jeanne was a fun loving lady and I know she will be missed by many.

  9. Mrs. Dubsky was not only a great teacher to many young people, but she had a loving heart for children. She taught our sons at Red Bird Elementary, now, they will rejoice in her company in heaven. Please accept our deepest sympathy and prayers.

  10. Mrs. Dubsky was not only a great teacher to many young people, but she had a loving heart for children. She taught our sons at Red Bird Elementary, now, they will rejoice in her company in heaven. Please accept our deepest sympathy and prayers.

  11. Jeanne was my friend and student down here in Punta Gorda Fl. I will miss her and her quick wit. She always was up to the challenge and never missed a beat. She will be missed by the whole class.

  12. Was just informed of Jeanne's passing. I will miss our monthly lunch dates and making Italian Eggplant with her. When our family moved to Madison in 1973, she was our older son's 3rd Grade Teacher. They had not taught cursive in Connecticut, so she would work with him every day until he was caught up. The next year she had our second son. Knowing that we were new in town, she invited us out to the farm to meet the horses and we have been friends ever since. She shared stories of her children and nieces with me. She was devoted to you all. Now she can be with Barney and John. God bless you Jeanne, you have touched so many lives. Rest in peace dear friend.
