Read MoreI remember Jeannette with affection. she was involved with the Peninsula Celebrations Society with me and I had the privilege of driving her van for her a few times. A beautiful woman and also an accomplished artist, I remember being in her home and seeing her artwork. Her outlook on life was certainly inspirational and a great gift to her family.

Jeannette will be missed by many, cherished by all who knew her. She was a real go-getter who got things done. I was thrilled to be one of her drivers when she took part in the sailing for disabilities. She told me then it was like having wings to fly across the waters. Rest in Peace my friend.

With Jeanette we had the epitome of determination and commitment. When Jeanette took on any task that she felt strong about, she would make it happen. I had great respect for her and all she accomplished. She was a woman that made a differance. My prayers are with her family, I feel lucky to have known her.
God bless
