Jeanette, You were always open and courteous even when that was not always easy to do, that was true courage. This was true in your work, and in your battle with Cancer. I am grateful for having known you and am saddened that the bright light of your life was extinguished so early. The world is a lesser place. I wish Dave and your son's well in the difficult road without you, but given all your friends and the great family you spoke of, they will not be alone.. Sleep well the battle is done. You have won, although so much was lost. - Posted by: Murray Gartner (Co-Worker) on: Jan 08, 2010
