Desr John Sending much ❤️ and my deepest condolences to you at this very sad time. Jeanette, what an absolutely beautiful and vibrant person she was. Someone who would always 'light up a room' with her fabulous smile and belly laughing 'wit' 😃 RIP Jeanette 🌻
Congratulations to Jeanette for organising such a touching funeral. Giving us an insight to the amazing, kind, loving, sensible person she was. I wish I had known her better.
Hi John Just a short note to say how sad we were with Jeanette's passing. We were aware she had not been well and wanted to say our love and thoughts are with you John and the wider family at this time. It will no doubt be a tough time for you over the coming weeks and months adjusting to life without Jeanette and we are around if you feel like comeing for a beer or two and a bit of company. She was a remarkable lady and that was reinforced at her farewell just a short time ago. Sorry we were unable to talk wilh you personally to say a very big thank you for all you have both done in our community. Much of which many people would not be aware of. I recall those early days when you supported Mark Rendall. Thank you sincerely. It was a wonderful and very fitting send off with friends an family that we heard Jeanette had prepared. With warmest regards Grahame and Sandy Hall
With you in spirit wishing we were with you. Watching with heavy hearts from Australia. Sending big hugs Bas and Marianne xx
