Charlie and Family, Jeanette was a special lady, always ready to visit, and loved to talk to her grade school friends, share pictures, and she must have saved everything from those old days because Charlie, when you would bring her to visit Pete at Liberty Manor , she always had a bag full of pictures and even a Halloween card he gave her in first grade and they would go thru all the very old yearbooks and laugh, they never forgot a name or face. May she rest in peace and Charlie you take care. Margaret
