I am so sorry to hear of Jeanette's death. We weren't real close, but I have roomed with her on some of Billy Cole's bus trips and had lots of fun. I won't forget the Nashville trip -- she dressed up like Dolly Parton and went up and down the bus aisles. The group made a cassette of "You Are My Sunshine" at a recording studio. Lots and lots of laughs will be my memory of Jeanette.

Tom - my sympathy to you and your family. I met Jeanette when she was taking care of the the Richardson-Wells children. We were together almost every day for a long time. We could talk about anything. I heard all about the family. I hope the grandkids know how proud she was of them all. She had a heart full of love.
I really missed her when we moved down here to Missouri, but I tried to keep in touch by phone. I've been thinking about her the past few weeks, but didn't call. I'm sorry.
What a life she had - and she lived it to the fullest! May she rest in peace.
God bless you all.
