Jeannine Tate

There aren't too many places where I would still sign my name as "Billy Joe," but that's what Jeannine called me from the time I was a little boy and on into adulthood. She was a dear friend througout my life and is now remembered fondly by both my wife, Kathy, and myself. Perhaps most important, she modeled her Christian faith through loving kindness to both friends and strangers... in both word and deed. I will miss her smile, her meals and Bible studies and gentle encouragement.

Sorry I missed the funeral. I hadn't seen Jeannine for years but I remember her from family get togethers. She always struck me as one of the most loving and least judgmental people I have ever met, smiling, welcoming, interested, radiant and alive, very much as I imagine a Christian should be. I know she struggled with disabilities that would make it hard for anyone to maintain a positive attitue. Her presence and spirit are fondly remembered and still an inspiration to me. Love, condolences...

Jeannine has been such a wonderful part of my families life. I have many childhood memories of her and her family and the good times we had together. She was one of the kindest people I have ever known and will be dearly missed. Our prayers are with her children and grandchildren.

I have so many fond memories of Jeannine with our family. She was such a warm and loving friend. We've known her for so many years we feel she is part of our family as well. She will be dearly missed.

I will never forget our last full day together when we were both called for jury duty. Much to our surprise, neither of us knew the other would be there. Afterwards, we spent the rest of the day engaged in good conversation, recalling pleasant memories. I will always cherish moments like these we’ve shared over the years.

She was like a sister to me in many ways and I shall miss her very much.

Our love and prayers are with the Tate family. Jeannine is a special person and will be missed by everyone.
God Bless

Jeannine - You always had a smile and a kind word when we were together. I know you are looking down from Heaven, watching over your children and grandchildren.

My life was blessed by your presence as well as many others you encountered during this brief time on Earth. Having touched so many lives, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
