  1. Jeanette brought us all a ray of sunshine whenever she was near. I knew her in school days but got better aquainted when Elden Tiesing and I lived in a mobible home on the farm place. She really was fun to have in our cofee group. She fattened us up when we had potlucks at her mobile home on Big Stone Lake. She made a doll house out of it.Her family and her church were always with her. We know she is in heaven singing, cooking or being a shacker cause she wasn’t still long. We miss her and all our prayers are with her family and friends. Phyllis A Hanner

  2. Mom,
    Here I am again procrastanating. There is so much that I would like to say to you, some I said in your ear at the hospital, some I will say now, and some I will say to only you each and every day. Mom, you were truly loved by so many people. All of which I only knew about while being there at your side and later at your Memorial. I only wish that I have gotten to know you the way so many others knew you. That person was a stranger to me, but I am so blessed to now know her in that light. Warm, caring, sharing, laughing, joking, and yes sometimes even very carefree. I will forever miss you. But I know that the minute you closed your eyes here on earth, you opened them in Heaven. And like the song says, “I can only Imagine” Wow, what it must be like to be in the presence of God the Father. I can only imagine. And I know that Dad was there waiting for you, and when I think of that it makes me cry tears of joy knowing that you are both together again. Praise God for taking you sooner than later. Be at peace now, and sing loudly so we can hear you from here. I love you Mom so very much, and will see you one day when God calls me home. Judy

  3. I am sending sincere sympathy on behalf of my mother Verna Matheis and myself. Jeannette will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We have some very treasured memories and we will hold them very dear to us. Our love and prayers to all of you. Mary Jane
