"I was so sorry to hear of Jeannie's passing. I had missed seeing her around town the last years. She was such a lovely and caring lady. She was so good to our son when she worked with Dr. Sorensen in Fremont. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and especially Bev as she was in LeRoy's class.
With sympathy, Janis"

"I am so sorry. I had the privilege to work in OB with Jeannie for several years. She became a dear friend as well as co- worker. She was kind, compassionate, and fun all rolled into one. She had a very deep love for her family and was so proud of each one. She will be missed by many."
