We were so saddened to hear about Jeanette. Our sincere condolences to the family. She was a beautiful lady, a quiet lady, loved to garden and even played the organ for me. We would always keep an eye on each others homes. Many good memories. She was the BEST next door neighbor for almost 20 years. My family would have cookie baking every Christmas and I would bring her a plate that she would always enjoy. I visited her just a few months ago during the Christmas holiday at her new place with some of those cookies. We talked and laughed and before leaving, we said I Love You to each other! I will always be grateful for that day with her and miss bringing her those cookies. May you rest in peace Jeannette. We love you and will sorely miss you!

She was an amazing person. Enjoyed talking with her at the high school reunions. The Bessen family lost a great person who was devoted to her faith. May she rest in peace!

I met Jeanette just a few years ago, but from that moment I loved her. She was a gal of few words, but when she said something, her wit always made me laugh. I was so happy for her when she moved from her home because she loved her new one so much and was so active. Rest in peace lovely lady.

Jeanette not only practice her Christianity. She loved it. We have been friends for many decades. The first time we met was at a meeting and I had stopped smoking and I had a pencil in my mouth trying to quit the habit totally. We talked about that many times over the years and got some giggles out of it, I never went back to smoking but I know when I go to meet her I’ll have a pencil and she’ll have a pencil and we will warmly embrace and get some giggles out! See you soon enjoy eternity. Love you!
