Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember your wonderful mother.
I am honored and deeply grateful to have had the priviledge of knowing Jeannette.She was an amazing woman full of love and unending kindness. Jeannette has touched many hearts with her gentle face and bright smile and boy, could she sing a tune!
I am confident that my heart is not the only heart she has left a footprint on!
Please know you are all in my thoughts at this difficult time.

Jeannette, one of my Mom's (Dorothy Bresnahan Lyons) best friends graduating from Haverhill High School in 1935 and then moving and living only ten miles away most of their lives. What a gift. Jeannette and my Mom shared some wonderful times together, stories shared by my Mother. Jeannette was so kind and always had a good word to say about everyone. Our knowing Jeannette was such a blessing in our lives.

I am sorry for your loss of this wonderful woman.
