Hi Carol:
I am getting ready to go to
Jeanette was a nice girl and I recall that
I was in the 4th grade with her at
Walter Reed, the one year I
went there. She sat directly behind me and beside Mary Frances
Koskinas. Jeanette’s funeral is private, per the newspaper.
Thank you so much, Fred.

Jeanette, my Godmother and my mother's most precious best friend in the
world. You will be truly missed. I know my mother's heart is broken because
you are no longer here to laugh with, cry with, talk with and support each
other and really? now who is going to remind her that "The Bachelorette" is
coming on! You always made me feel special when I was around you growing up
and as an adult. You'll never know how much it meant when you would say,
"How are you, baby girl?" So many memories. To Wayne, Robin, Kim and family,
I wish you beautiful memories of her and peace. I know you could feel every
day, how much she loved you all. That was just the kind of person I remember
her to be. I love you all, always. ~ Kelly Miller April 25, 2017

Wayne,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of Jeanette. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of me and your fellow classmates of WHS Class of '61! Love you, buddy! Lewis April 26, 2017
Dear Wayne,
Please accept my condolences. I once saw a card that told of a ship leaving the shore with family and friends sadly saying "There she goes." At the opposite shore were loved ones from the past joyfully saying, "Here she comes." Susie April 27, 2017 ![]() April 27, 2017
