"Bob, Rob & Carol, I am so sad to hear about Jeannine. Those of us who were fortunate enough to know her are such better people for being touched by her graciousness, her beautiful smile, her love. My prayers are with your family, that the love and peace of God that passes all understanding will help heal your hearts. Mom wanted me to let you know how crushed she was that she couldn't be with you at the funeral but she left for a trip overseas Friday morning. She also sends her love and prayers."
