    David and the entire Family:
    My deepest sympathy to you as my thoughts and prayers are with you. I worked with Jeanette for many years in Chicago and she also attended my wedding. We would talk every few months as we were close and respected the old school. I was trying to reach her for over 6 months with no response. She will be truly missed. may you find peace.
