I am so sorry to hear of Jeannette's passing. I loved her, she was the funniest person I've ever known. Her sense of humor was wonderful. I went to school with Dwight so I've known Jeannette for many years and would often see her at the Legion. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Cindi Lambert
