To: David, Mike, Dino, Scott and the rest of the Family:
I am so sorry for the loss of Jeannette! I have so many wonderful memories of her and regret that I did not visit. I felt an immediate loss when I heard the news. Whenever she was around you could count on a lot of laughter. She had so many great qualities and cooking was a big one. All of her recipes were great but her desserts were out of this world!!! She was so generous and would give you the shirt right off her back! My thoughts are with you all!
Our thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family. So sorry for loss.
I know she’s singing with the angels. She will be missed. Sending prayers and hugs for the family and friends
