Our paths crossed at the Y in class and then Mah Jongg. It went on from there - MJ, lunch, ACT, sharing life stories. I will be forever grateful that our pathe crossed and I got to share in some of her journey. Jeanette was feisty, honest, and a barrel of fun. I'll miss you, my friend! My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Jeanette Springer, a second mom I’ve known for 56 years. Jeanette never minced words or sugar coated anything. She told it like it is. I have so many memories of being in the Springer house with Jeanette at the helm. Rest in your well-deserved peace. You have earned it along with your wings.
