I just found out about Jeanette's passing. I was very sad when I was told she had passed. I worked with her @ NL Barnes Construction and she was a very sweet lady. Very kind and a pleasure to work with. I am happy that I had the pleasure of knowing her and her kind and gentle spirit.

My Wife Wendy (Seattle) & Jeannette (SF) worked at the same Construction Company (Howard S Wright). When our Daughter Jena went to the University of SF, Jeannette & Bill became Her surrogate Parents, making sure she had a home away from home to spend time at. Jeannette & Bill took very good care of Jena. We would travel to San Francisco to see Jena over a dozen times, and we would always take time to see Jeannette & Bill. They introduced us to the Basque Cultural Center in South SF. We would have dinner there, we enjoyed the wonderful food with lots of Wine. We remember how full of Life Jeannette & Bill were. We could see how much they loved each other and how they came to Love our daughter Jena as well. We are truly sadden by the news of Jeannette passing. We just celebrated Jena's Wedding to her Husband Ian on the 18th of May. Jeannette & Bill were expected to be there, until we hear the news of her Cancer. We are so sorry that we were unable to see Jeannette before She past. We will always keep Jeannette in our Hearts & minds and never forget how Jeannette touched our lives.

My deepest sympathy. Jeanette was a life long friend. We went through Notre Dame des Victoires, shared rides to and from school and the laundry. Our families were close. Prayers to all. She will be missed.
