Dear Tom,
I was so sorry to hear of Jeannie’s passing. Sue and I offer our deepest condolences to you and to your family. I remember fondly the fun we had as young faculty here in Ames and parties mutually enjoyed. Jeannie was a fun and caring person.

We are so sad to hear about Miss Jeannie. She was so kind to my daughter, Ella. We loved to walk past her house and stop for a nice chat. The neighborhood won’t be the same without her. She was so proud of her family, and she spoke of you often. We’re going to miss her so much.
We will miss Aunt Jeannie very much. Wayne Craig Jessa and I send all of our love thoughts and prayers.
Love always
