Jeanne's Beef Stroganoff Recipe

My friend Jeanne was the Godliest woman I knew; she was patient, and kind, and wise; and I always looked up to her. She had the best smile and was famous for her pies. I was lucky to be her friend.
Sadly, seven years ago she was diagnosed with stage IIII ovarian cancer; and doctors said she'd be lucky to live past five years. Jeanne died last year, a week before Christmas, and I still miss her like crazy. Today is her birthday, and I wanted to share with everyone her beef stroganoff recipe. It was the first meal she ever cooked for my husband and I, too!
