Jeanine was a good friend. I have known her and Paul for a good many years. I went with them to their first Nebraska football game. It was a cold day, but we were well prepared and everyone had a good time! 👍 She was a good person! She will be missed! God Bless.
Very sorry to hear of Jeanie’s passing. She was fun to be around and always made me laugh. I am betting that the majority of Ashland residents knew Jeanie and called her Friend. Best wishes to Paul.
I am so sorry for your loss Paul. She was a sweet lady.
Paul and family. So truly sorry for the passing of Jeannie. We had been friends for a very long time between the cookbooks and the cats. Peace is finally with her now. Peace to you, too.
Regards to Paul and families. Jeannie was a peach! Didn’count the days but made each day count! Feel lucky to have known you.
God Bless.
