So sorry for your loss. I Enjoyed teaching with Jeanine. I Loved her fun personality. She was my prayer partner during the lunch period at Penniman School in Cahokia. She loved her God and her family.

My deepest sympathies to Jeanine's family and friends. I was a high school graduate with Jeanine and shared some classes with her throughout the years. She was a sweet person with a beautiful smile and had a good, sweet, spirit about her. I know she will be greatly missed.

My condolences to the entire family. I knew and appreciated Jeanine so much for her interest in children, and for her love of music. She was in my home several times for music practice along with Pastor McLaughlin to get ready for leading worship on the following Sunday. Beautiful smile. Beautiful person. Mary Anne Burns
