    Bert, Michael, Paul, Brian , Janelle and families, it is with heartfelt sympathy that we share the loss of your precious wife, mother and grandmother and our dear sister, Jeannine. Jeannine was a caring and loving person who advocated for closeness of family and her love for and pride in her children and grandchildren was evident in her life. Joe fondly recalls the many times she helped him with his artwork in primary school because he was colour-blind and Jeannine would whisper the colours across the aisle to him to get him through. Our boys and their families share in your loss and in saying how much their Aunt Jeannine will be missed at our family get-togethers. RIP dear sister, sister-in-law and aunt.

Her immediate family was so important to her. She dearly loved you all and was a very proud grandmother. Her extended family was just as important.

    Jeannine was an ‘Angel” here on earth and she will be your “Angel in Heaven above”.

    We are so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Jeannine. She was the most wonderful person to our family and caring. She was always helpful..

    We remember when the twins were giving flowers to the governor general of Ontario for the opening night of the Stratford festival and they needed their hair done and my sister couldn’t do it and Jeannine step up and said she would be glad to help and the hair was beautiful. I will never forget her kindness. WE will miss her dearly at Carole party.
