So sad to hear of Jeanette passing away. I will always remember her as one of the first people I met when I moved into our building. She was so kind and made me feel so welcome. I could just sense she was filled with so
much love and compassion for her fellow man- she was a very special lady in my book. I wish I got to know her better. I will miss her sweet smiling face. God's peace and comfort to her family. Betty Ostic

Jeanette and I were friends for a long time. We shared long conversations,a lot of laughs and a few tears along the way. She was a very giving person and I will truly miss her. She will always have a place in my heart.
