Hi there. I am the daughter of Kevin Krawczyk. My mother called me at school today and told me what happened. I am really sorry for the loss. She was a wonderful lady and I wish I was able to be there for the family but I am unable to make it to Vermont because I am attending the University of Southern Maine. I love everyone and I am glad that she was surrounded by her family as she passed on..

There are so many fond memories. After moving from Connecticut Jeannette would invite us down for home made soup, freshly baked bread and even pie. May I add the best of pies! Soon I felt like a part of a wonderful family. The peepers will forever remind me of her and she shall be missed tremendously. My love goes out to her entire family.

Jeannette was like a mother to me. I remember her treating me like one of her daughters-even took my turn doing the dishes! She was a wonderful person and I will remember her fondly.
