Q: What will you never forget about Jeannette? A: I will always remember Jeanette’s infectious smile and laughter! Jeanettes’s daughter Kathy was my best friend growing up and Jeanette supported us in all of our crazy endeavors! The woman had the patience of a saint, and an extremely kind soul. My memories of our time together will never fade and I’ll hold them close to my heart until we meet again in God’s kingdom.
