  1. Dear Tracie, Jenn and Jeff and families,
    I am so sad to read of your mother’s death. She was a childhood friend of my mom’s and Kerry’s ‘fairy godmother’ and that was always a special connection for us.
    I will always remember our camping trips together and that I was not the only one that sang off-key. We both liked to sing, but neither of us could carry a tune!
    She will be dearly missed.
    Love and hugs to all of you.
    Kelly (White) Dineen

  5. We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Jeannette. She was such a great person in so may ways. She was very kind, warm, and loving but also a pillar of strength for her family whom she loved so much. She had such a great sense of humor, the best laugh, which we will miss so much. She was always a lot of fun to be around. You have posted a beautiful picture of Jeannette which truly captures the great smile she had. We are thinking of you Tracie, Jennifer, and Jeff at this difficult time.
