Jeanette was my cousin, who we shared a lot of good times growing up. We spent holidays together. Last time we got together was at Tom and Joan house after my son died. I always asked about her when I spoke to Tom. I think she took after her mother, Dollie. Jeanette was a kind and fun lady always with an answer. I think of her and Ed often. As per her wises wishes we donated to Nurses for Newborns.
May she rest in peace.
