    I just learned today of Jeanette’s passing. Please know that I loved Jeannette! She was related to my husband, Ronnie, as her mother, Stella, and my mother-in-law, Helma Christensen, were first cousins. Jeanette was just so friendly and caring, and she enriched my life, as well as the lives of all who knew her. Jeannette was among those who attended Bible study at my sister’s home (Betty Rupp) for a few years. I think those ladies became close, and enjoyed their time together. Please know that you will all be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days.
