We’ve only been close neighbors for about a year but after a few gab sessions, found that we knew all the same people, but never met! Our daughters knew each other…I’ll miss you lady! You were truly one of a kind! Kind being the operative word here! I know you’ll be keeping an eye on all of us! Loved you girl friend! I know your Mom has welcomed you with open loving arms and your smiling from ear to ear!
Forever Hugs!

Dear Jim & family,
We are truly sorry to read the notice Jeanette. I remember when we both were students in school William Horlick and she was in some of my classes, very wonderful classmate.
May God almighty give all family members strength during these trouble times and my God help with the healing to all family members.
God bless all

Jeanne and I were friends by way of our moms who worked together. I had been in high school for a year when she came to Horlick. She was my little shadow for that first year. She was so funny. We have been friends on Facebook, and I will miss her very much. :'(
Carol Armstrong says
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom, to all her children/grandchildren. I’ve known Janette a very long time. I used to babysit all of her kids when they were very little (preschool age).
She loved all of her children very much. And yes Anna I remember when you were in your mama’s tummy. I know all of you are going to miss her very, very much. Her spirit will be with all of you forever.
She was a wonderful lady, always had a smile on her face no matter the hard times she may have gone through (first husband).
Brenda Jones says
Sending my Sincere Condolences to the LaFonteese Family, Jeanette and I and her daughters Anna and Shelly worked at Kurten Medical together and we shared good times together. Jeanette was very kind and loving person, may your memories bring the family comfort. And to know that soon death will be no more as we’re promised at (Revelation 21:4).
