Dear Jessica, Shelton and Cynthia; I have just now learned of cousin Jeanette's passing. She was such a lady, and caring cousin. She and Francis are together once again. I have many fond memories of Estes Park and Kitty Hawk with Francis and Jeanette. May they Rest In Peace, together. Condolences, Fred and Alexis Kirijan

Dear Jessica, Shelton, and Cynthia, September 5, 2017 I am so sorry to hear of my dear cousin's passing. The birthday card that I sent to her just came back in the mail, undeliverable. It was quite a shock. Jeannette had a wonderful life, but now she is in a far greater place. But I am heartbroken. She was a very loving, smart, kind, happy and dear lady. Much love to you all. I will tell my brothers, Rick and Fred. Our condolences to you. From Arlene, Phil, and Phil Spinka
