To all of Jeannie's beloved family,
Jeannie was such a special friend to me and many others during High School and beyond. Her kindness and compassion had no limits. I can honestly say that I never knew of anyone who did not adore Jeannie. I felt lucky to be her friend. She always knew what to say when I needed a word of encouragement. She was also funny and smart. I cannot imagine the loss that all of you are feeling. I had planned to attend her service on 1/11/25 but Mother Nature had other plans. I live in Northeast Tennessee and we had significant snow here and along the 7 hour drive to Hampton. I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I also made a donation to the Alzheimer's Association in her memory.

Jeannie was a blessing to everyone in our office for whom she came into contact with. She was kind, considerate, and caring of her co-workers. She always spoke fondly of her family and friends. We always enjoyed having her bring in her treats to the office. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this difficult time.

Jeannie and I met through teaming many times on the Emmaus Walk. What an atmosphere to meet true friends of faith. My daughter-in-law also joined Jesus on the 24th from liver disease and her service is the 11th in Ricmond, so I will not be able to attend. I join you in your loss but rejoice that both of them have reveived the ultimate healing as God received them into eternal life.

I was close with Jeannie’s dad and mom. They spoke of all their daughters often. Sorry I never met four of you sisters but did meet Rhonda one time in Las Vegas. I feel so sad for all of you. I was your dad’s cousin. Ron and I called each other on holidays and our birthdays. We vacationed together for many years. Jeannie’s photo showed how beautiful she was and I am sure all those who knew her will miss her terribly. Her life ended way too soon.

No words can express this profound loss. Jeannie will forever be in my wonderful memories of elementary, middle and high school! She was the kindest, fun, and loyal friend and I was blessed that God put her in my life. Gonser family- I love all of you.
