Jeannine, my sweet dear friend. May you soar high with the angels and May you have nothing but Aces and lots of meld in your heavenly pinochle games. Your twinkling eyes and warm smile will be deeply missed. My deepest sympathy to your wonderful family. May their memories bring them comfort in the days and months ahead.

To Pam, Mary Beth, Nancy and your wonderful families. Diane and I mourn the passing of your Mom, our Aunt Jeannine. I remember all the fun we had at backyard barbecues at your houses on Dixie Hwy and our house in Park Ridge. Also Gilfoy family reunions and at Grandma and Grandpa's house on the hill and Waupaca. I'll never forget the sound of the back screen door slamming "whack!" Over and over all day long. I'm reminded that I'm not the first Gilfoy boy to marry a curly haired, vivacious Daughter of France. She was an educator, her laugh was infectious, she had joy in your successes and when she put her hands on her hips and said "Terrence Gilfoy!!" to an unruly kid, you knew you had stepped over the line! I hope as time passes your pain will go away and all of you can treasure the good times. She is unforgettable! Love, Terry
