A special thank you to the staff at Hospice House for their kindness and empathy. Jeanine was devoted to St. Therese of Lisieux and was a member of the Society of the Little Flower. She enjoyed preparing meals for her family, especially chop suey, which was the family favorite. Autumn was her favorite time of year. We will cherish the time with her spent admiring the fall foliage. She was one of the family historians, always keeping the family up on their Polish language. She will be missed dearly.
