I think Jeannie and I were about 8 and 9 years old when our big brothers met in Groom Creek, near Prescott, where both our families had cabins. Paul and Buzz got their little sisters together to play. I was thrilled to have another girl to play with because the family closest to our cabin had 4 boys. Jeannie and I became lifetime friends...every summer we had so much fun. I have so many memories of having a summer friend I could depend on every year. As we got a little older we went to dances...

I loved my Aunt Jeannie very much. I remember a special time when she was visiting mom and dad and she came out of the bedroom and she said that bed sure sucks you in we laughed and I knew it did because we used to sleep there when we would visit mom and dad it was just she was so much fun to be around her with her laughter! She will be so missed by many. I´m especially grateful that she´s with her spouse again uncle Gary, and other siblings instead of passed before her and family. Love you...

Please give yourself and Gary a big hug from me and all of us. Until we meet again, keep smiling and laughing and sharing the...

"Hello my dear" this is the way I greeted my mother everytime we called each other. It was a fun memory we shared together from the days we had a paper route together. We each laughed everytime we said it. Those early mornings together were special. I needed money and a job and so did she, so we did it together. That pretty much sums up all our memories...we each needed something and we were there for each other. Her more than me. She was the perfect mother. Rest in peace...NOT. she...

I really enjoyed Gary and Jeannie and their family during their years in Billings. Such great people. Will see them on the other side.
