With deepest sympathy for the loss of someone very dear to you and myself. Jeannette was my cousin. Her father in law, Harold Abell, was my Uncle. I will truly miss her and her great sense of humor and the "true grit" she had all her life!!

I will never forget the summers I shared with you, playing cards and always asking for the cards to be in your favor "be there!" Thank you for being exceptionally kind and outrageously funny even through troubling and difficult times. I love you so very much and you will always live on through memories and stories we will pass along. Dance with Grampy among the stars.

I knew Jan from the Pines in Tewksbury. She was a friend of my aunt Mary Campbell, who also was a resident of Pines. Mary passed away on Jan 2, 2011 and I was sad to hear Jan's passed away within a few days of Mary.
