I was thinking of Jeanine and reminiscing about the days I worked with her at the Eldorado office of Mellon Bank. We shared some fun times back then. I know how much she loved you all. My prayers and sympathies go out to you all. Elaine Dombrowski

Dear Lee, Cookie, Jemmings and the rest of the family: This morning I was deeply saddened to learn of Jeannine's passing. During my years as Executive Director of the Altoona Area High School Alumni Association, I always enjoyed being in the presence of Jeannine and the rest of your wonderful family as we experienced memorable events together. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope everyone gets to see this. I wanted to mail sympathy cards but was not sure I could find correct addresses. Tom Bradley Emmaus, PA

I'm so sorry to hear this. Jeannine and Lee were wonderful neighbors in Hollidaysburg, and always so welcoming. I was sorry when they moved. She was an active member of our neighborhood ladies group, and our card club. My sympathy to Lee and the family.

So sorry to hear of the family's loss. I. Was a neighbor and Cathy and I were friends in the 1960s. Cathy I remember when you took in a baby deer so it wouldn't die. Your parents were always so nice and welcoming. Jemmings was my teacher at AAVT, one of my favorite teachers. Then later we were Lions club members. So sorry for your loss. Barbara Edwards Hileman
