What a wonderful neighbor! We will miss her beautiful smile and sense of humor, as well as her yearly Christmas visit with the cardamon coffee cake! Our thoughts are with Allyson and Brian.

Jennie graced the Coffee and Conversation table at the Cathedral and will be missed by many. I only made her acquaintance within the past year but will have long memories of her there on Sundays. One very beautiful memory will be of a strong wave and big smile after Mass on New Year's Day heading to the car. Too far away to talk, but a wave with lots of heart. This past Sunday there was a group of us there who were very very saddened to see her beautiful face on the Mass sheet ... several calls were made to others. All of us would have been there for her beautiful service ... please know there will be many prayers for her. May God give you peace during this time. Karen O'Connor Bray.

May you know God's peace during this time of sadness. I worked for Jeannette part time in 1995-1997. I have fond memories of our time together as we became friends. I'm sorry I lost touch with her.
