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.

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? Decatur, IL US
Michele –We are so sorry to hear about your mom. We know what a difficult time this must be for you, we just lost our mom back in January. 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
My husband and I have been friends with Debbie Wilcox since our sons became buddies in jr. high, almost a quarter of a century. During those years, we met and became acquainted with Jeanette, attending family celebrations, going out for musical evenings and dining. Jeanette was pretty and pleasant, and I'll remember her always for her warm, friendly personality. Take comfort in knowing that we never die as longas we live in the memories of family and friends. Decatur, IL US
Terry and family, I am so sorry for the loss of Jeanette. She was absolutely the sweetest woman I ever knew. I worked with her at Harris for several years. I really enjoyed combining our classrooms and sharing ideas and hands. She will be greatly missed because her students and fellows teachers loved her. I hope you treasure her memories as I will to help ease your loss. May God give your his love and grant you his peace. Fondly, Nancy 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
