Tributes
"I truly regret that I will not be able to attend our beloved Jeannie's funeral. In my heart the Jeannie I knew has been gone for many years.
Jeannie was always a part of the Furman kids life. She helped change diapers when Dad couldn't, she was our doctor when we had cuts and bruises ,and when our Dad passed away she was there helping put our lives back together. She was always there to organize,serve and help in any possible way.
The Mutschler's were so much apart of our lives growing up.! They attended everything ,birthday parties ,confirmations, graduations, Christmas Eve's, and our weddings. They were wonderful friends and a second group of parents that loved us unconditionally.
Jeannie has always been a special lady to me and I am glad she is finally reunited with Marvin in a happy restful place.
