Dear Terry,George and I are so sorry for your loss. Jeanette was one of the kindest women we know. I remember a couple of years ago when we were in the computer lab at Harris School, she had to log on and she smiled and said, "My password is my favorite person's name: Terry." It was so wonderful knowing you both loved each other so much. Please know we have been praying for you. Decatur, IL US

We were so sorry to hear of Jeanette's passing. We had just visited with her at a Illiopolis Faculty gathering in June and she just looked great. It was so nice to see her. I worked at the school as the bookeeper when she taught there and when you taught music/band. You probably don't remember me, but I remember you both. Again, you have our deepest sympathy. Bob & Carolyn Lamb Illiopolis, IL US

Your mom was a very special lady that we have so many good memories of when we were growing up together at school. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.Love, The Wattelet FamilyBen, Maureen, and Andrea San Diego, CA US
I can't do anything else right now, because I just found out a few hours ago, but to tell you all no one loved your wife, mom, sister, daughter or friend more than me. She was the only person in this world besides my mother that loved me and believed in me no matter what and helped me to fight and try to become the best person I could be. I was there when she raised her kids, I was there thru the heartaches. We all shared so much when she was one of the best damn teachers Illiopolis ever had. She was there to help me devour a bottle of B & B one night and insisted I stay on the couch. She was there to dump 1000, "100,000" dollar bars in my car one night.What a hoot that was!She was my friend no matter what and I loved her with all my heart and I am totally devastated beyond words and comprehension. Michelle, Michael, you know how much I have always loved you. What a tribute you are to your mother. I will always be here for you, all you have to do is call. Let's do all we can to keep your mom and all she stood for with all of us! As bad as it hurts I know she is in heaven with St. Francis and my dad taking care of Et Tu Brute, Snips, Elwood and all the other animals. She wouldn't have it any other way would she?

Dear Terry, Michael, Michelle,Mr. and Mrs. BurrowsOur thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this terrible time. Jeanette and I have been friends for forty years. We have shared many wonderful times together. When we would meet it was as if we had never been apart.I considered her a dear and wonderful friend. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren and always had something to share about them. I will miss her so much. Decatur, IL US
Dear Terry, Michael, & Michelle,I'm in total shock over the loss of your wife, mother, and one of my dearest friends, Jeanette. It didn't seem to matter how long the period of time was between our visits, we always enjoyed seeing each other & started chatting like we had just talked the day before. Jeanette & I got to know each other many, many years ago, and we helped each other get through some pretty rough times. Like I said before, it didn't matter how long it had been since we talked, if one of us needed something we always knew the other one would be there. We had so many good conversations together, and shared so many good memories. I will always miss her. I remember Michael when you were just a little boy, and your mother was going to school and coping with being a single parent. She had such determination to complete her degree and make a good life for the two of you. And Michelle, you and your mother were so close. She often talked about what a good mother you were, and how proud she was of your children and Michael's son. And Terry, you made Jeanette so happy these last few years. I'm so sorry you didn't have more time together. I can't tell you how sad I am about your loss, but just know I for one will never forget her.Sincerely – Carol Harding Decatur, IL US
Terry, There are no words to express the sorrow I feel. I will never forget how "fun" Jeanette was to be with. The trip to Japan was a blast and I won't ever forget when she fell and hit her head in the bathroom. For such a horrible thing to happen, we sure did laugh a lot!! My prayers are with you and with the family. Please call me if I can do anything for you. I'll see you soon. Rae Decatur, IL US
