Jeannette was such a fun lady- I saw her frequently at the Scotties Den when my dad and I had lunch. She held our daughter when she was newborn, and celebrated our son's 3rd birthday, all while having lunch. She was so very sweet. I am truly sorry for your loss.

I was saddened to read of Jeannette’s passing
but it also reminded me of all the wonderful memories of my friendship with Doug during our high school days and beyond
Jeannette and Gary were always welcoming when stopping by even though they probably wondered what we were up to
She is a beautiful lady inside and out and I’m sure will be missed by all of you
Sending my deepest sympathy and love

Gary, Greg, and Doug, I was saddened to read of Jeanette's passing. I have fond memories of her and all of you from our Little League days, and of years later when I would see her on my bike ride. My condolences to all of you.
