Dale and Jeannine were wonderful neighbors for many years, beginning in 1964.  We enjoyed many cups of coffee together and with other neighbors.  Sue was a friend to our children and I want to express my sympathy for her loss,as well as to the extended family.  Having lost my husband and youngest child within months 6 years ago I can understand.

I am sorry to hear of Jeannine's passing. The last member of the generation that taught the younger members what it meant to be family. I will always remember the kindness Jeannine extended to me in a low point of my life. Loved her sense of humor.
