"Debi and family. Your mother and father were such an inspiration to my precious husband and me over the years. We were members in their S.S.Class for many years, and loved them both. Jeanette always had the most amazing personality, and always gave all the glory to her Lord and Savior. I know that our Lord is saying "Well done good and faithful servant''. Your mom is now filled with joy that she never knew on this earth to be in the presence of her Lord and her husband . GLORY !!!! I am praying for you and your family for comfort today and in the days to come. Kathy Reno San Marcos TX"
"I will always miss my sweet sister! She was the middle sister and made it purpose to encourage and be a cheer leader for all of us! She loved people and her home was always a gathering place for family. She now joins all those that have gone before her, especially her sweetheart, Vernon. I will miss talking with her till I see her again! :heart:"

"Jeanette Wright was one of the first people I met when Bannockburn was started. Her infectious smile and laughter was always healing and soothing. She was an encourager and comforter. All of our lives were truly enriched by having Jeanette in them. May God put His loving arms around the family now with a peace that passes understanding that she is with Him today organizing Heaven."
"My memories of Aunt Betsy are always ones of loving joy and laughter. There was always a smile, room at the table for one more, a hug, a kind word, and a "bless your heart". I will miss our regular phone calls. I can't imagine my world without her. My love to all of her family. Trudy LaFrance"
"This is truly a loss for so many. Over the 30 years that we've known Jeanette, she has been an encouragement to our family in so many ways. Jeanette was always available with a comforting word to those hurting, encouragement to those who were trouble, and rejoicing in the gifts of others. Her positive spirit will be missed. May God bless the many family members who are grieving now."
