Dear Matt, Mark, Chris, Cathy and Helen:
Jeanie will always hold a special place in my heart. I'll always remember her kindness, generosity, and our summer "week" together every year. She always enjoyed having company and going out to dinner. I know she loved all of you very much and spoke with pride and love of her grandchildren as well.
I'm so very sorry for your tremendous and unexpected loss. My sincerest condolences to all of you.
With deepest sympathy,
Rebecca Mihlek
