To the Laidlaw Family.... my deepest condolences to you. Jeannette was a member of the choir of St. Catherine for many years while I was the director of music. She and Richard were very much a part of the family there. I just returned from a vacation and found many messages about her passing. I'm sorry that I was unable to be present at the wake or funeral. Jeannette was a joy in my life and I was saddened when she moved away a number of years ago. My thoughts prayers and heart are with you all. May God gently wipe away your tears and fill you with peace. Love and prayers, Sue Scanlon

Jeannette was a wonderful nurse with a warm smile and caring manner. It was my privilege to have worked with her at St. Joseph's Manor over 40 years ago. She was so kind to me last year at the Carmel Connection reunion supporting me in the loss of my husband.
I too will miss her smile. Love Teresa (Celeste)
