It is very difficult to describe a friendship like the one I had with Jeannie. Our parents were friends for decades and we knew each other for the same. Jeannie was a wonderful friend and I will never forget her warmth and kindness. Our mothers were very close friends and I will never forget her kindness to my mom. I will never forget her and love her very much.

Bernie, Kathleen, and John, I consider it a great privilege to have known Jeannie. She was one of the most selfless people I have known. When you were with her, her focus was always on you. She cared so deeply and served so naturally. Jeannie and I were in Bible studies when our children were young and I found her faith so genuine and refreshing. She lived the Greatest Commandments of Loving God and Loving People. I have heard heaven described as the most beautiful place that God could imagine. And since our God is an infinite God with an infinite imagination, I am confident that Jeannie is in His presence resting in His glory experiencing indescribable wonders. And even so, it is such a deep tragedy when such a beautiful soul is removed from her husband, children, and friends. My deepest sympathies to the Adolf Family. My prayers for comfort and healing are with you all.
