To the Eberly family and the Family of Jeanette Williams

I wanted to express my deepest sympathies to you all. Jeanette will be missed dearly. I hadn't seen her in a long time but she had a warm spot in my heart for all these years. She was a heck of a lady. I remember everyone scrambling when she arrived at any of the locations here in town. Someone would see her pull in and we'd have her large diet 7up and coffee with cream ready when she walked in the door. It tickled me to see how her presence got everyone on their toes.
I remember when she was night shift manager for a while. I was always a go getter and did everything fast. I went out to clean the dining-room and came back to the kitchen door, bumped it open with my hip, and the door stopped hard. I thought what the heck??? Let me tell you... when Jeanette looked around the edge of the door with her glasses crooked on her face, I wanted to burst into flames and disappear. I thought for sure that was going to be my last minute to work there. She was cool, I apologized up and down. Later I was bending over getting something back by the lockers and she walked by and gave me a good smack on the fanny and said something about a hard target to miss. We laughed, and from then on I think we may have bonded. It still makes me laugh.
She was awesome! I will never forget her and the rest of my BK family.

My Love to You All

Debbie (Parsons) McCauley
