Don - I was so shocked when I heard the news about Jenean - Mari and I only had a few years while you were in Sioux Falls to get to know the two of you, but it was so wonderful to do so. God bless you and we are praying for you and your family.

Don and Family,
My husband and I know Jenean from high school, and more recently the EHS class of 1969 planning committee. Kris forwarded your messages on to us, Don, keeping us updated on Jeanean's status. I did not ever know Jeanean very well but remember her as an energetic cheer leader with a gorgeous smile! It is apparent from your updates that she has been surrounded all of these years with family who loved her and that she maintained a close relationship with the Lord and so could face these last few months with courage. She spent Easter Sunday with her Lord and Savior and the rest of us can "only imagine" how wonderful that must be.Sincere sympathy to all of you, I know she will be missed.

Dear Don and family,
We were so sorry to hear about Jenean's passing. I know it's been years since we've had the opportunity to visit with you. Greg and I so enjoyed getting to know you and Jenean on a deeper level in Sunday School at Linwood and so appreciated your love for the Lord and your strong faith. We hope and pray that love and faith will carry you through and that the Lord will envelope you in His arms of love and bring you all peace during this difficult time.
In Christ,
Greg and Jacki

We are so sorry for your loss. You didn't have to know Jenean very long to realize what a warm, wonderful and fun person she was. She will be sorely missed and always remembered fondly.

I am sorry to hear about Jenean I know what you must be feeling. I lost Kent a year ago on Feb 5th to Bladder cancer and the hurt is still there. She is with Jesus now and that is a goal for all of us. I will be praying for you and the kids.
