Tracy & Vicki : So sorry to hear about Jeannie's passing -- her & my Mom (Alice) and Bonnie Gear shared a lot of laughs and a few beers ..... she was so good to me when I was growing up ...... never will forget that once she ordered me a "paper dress" that was very funky & all of my friends were jealous. She let me "help" fix up your upstairs for you girls on Two Mile Avenue and also trusted me to babysit for you both and I got $1.00 an hour ... big $$$ back then. She was like a big sister to me back then. Good memories.........thinking of you both and sending a hug ... Linda Lou Kroenke Miller

It's weird. I was thinking about Jean the other day and how she busted me for skipping a class and I ended up in detention. It makes me smile and think of Jean's great smile.
