Im so sorry to hear about Jeanette. My mom (Barbara Clark Ostrander) and her as u already know were very good friends. I remember going to ur mom and dads house as a young kid and pretending i was in a castle. I loved jeanette she was such a nice lady. My mom past 9yrs ago today November 25th 2002 and jeanette called me and we talked for hrs. She told me she wrote a book about my mom and her and she would get me a copy but we never got together. I think its so weird that she past around the same time as my mom —– I guess you could say they were truelly really best friends—– Now they are together again in heaven and once again i am truelly sorry about your lost. Forver in my thoughts Lesa Ostrander

I remember the Jeanette, Palmer Elementary, and EHS class of 66, of old days and her dad as well. I was an art student back then and her dad asked me to get some of my friends together and help him by designing some layouts for a mobile home park he was developing. He gave us some seed money, fed us, and let us have a great time putting some life into those little homesteads. She was a tall girl, vivacious and full of life, and since we all went down different paths after that we never crossed paths again.She was warn, friendly, the salt of the earth, ready to do whatever was necessary to breath life into a gathering or party. I’m sure God took her because she was needed somewhere else in the scheme of things. God bless!
