So sorry to hear of your loss! Jeanette was a very special lady. I enjoyed caring for Jeanette. She always had a kind word. She loved doing for others even though she was not feeling the greatest. She loved sewing for the grandkids. I will miss her very much! Jeanette was a very special person. My thoughts and prayers go to Jeanette’s family!! One of Jeanette’s CNA/Caregivers Patti Walker

I have always loved you, my dearest Aunt Nette & you have always had a very special place in my heart … you always will! Thank you & thank God that I had you in my life … Your loving niece, ‘Cheri’
Dear Uncle Elmer, Cathy, Bill and families; and to Linda, Lori, Barb and all the other cousins and families in the Wisconsin and Chicago areas:
Mom (Arlene) just called me about an hour ago to let me know the news of Aunt Jeanette’s passing. All of my aunts and uncles had a tremendous impact on me during my younger years, but Aunt Jeanette was certainly the dearest of them all. I like to think that as her youngest Triezenberg nephew, we had a bit of a special connection. She will always hold a special place in my heart for all the care and love she has shown me over the years. Her Christmas letter to me 12 years ago truly exhibited what a magnificent woman she was…and still is! Everyone who knew her was blessed to have done so.
Uncle Elmer, please take care of yourself and may the Lord bring peace to your heart. You are loved by many, and I will be keeping you in my prayers.
With love and so many happy memories in my heart,
Jeff Triezenberg
