Dear Dot and family. At a time that I really needed her, Jeannie was such an important person in my life. We gave each other strength and the ability to make it through the next day. I lost touch over the years, but talked to her a little over a year ago and knew things weren't good. I am so sorry to hear she died and the world has lost a great person. A person who cared, who would take care of you when needed and never expected anything in return. She was a great person and will be missed by many people. if you decide to do a celebration of her life please let me know because I would like to have an opportunity to pay a tribute to a great person. My sympathy is with you and your family.
