My husband and I would like to express our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Jeanette. Although we hadn't had the opportunity to meet Jeanette personally, we do understand the pain of losing one so dear. We would like to share with you comfort we have experienced from Gods word found in John 5:28,29. I especially love the resurrection account of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus, here on earth back to the arms of those he loved. ( John 11) How wonderful, knowing that we too will experience such joy in time. Remember also that our Heavenly Father, Jehovah ( Psalm 83:18 ) is always there for the broken hearted and those crushed in spirit. ( Psalm 34:18 ) Please, take a few moments, share your memories with those who surround you, for the memories shared are the ones most truly cherished, may they bring you comfort and peace as you begin to heal. Take care of yourselves and each other during this very difficult time.

I used to work at the Macungie Bank for 32 yrs and I would see Jeanette and Holly when they got paid from Allen Organ Co. I also ran into Jeanette and her son Craig at Redners in Trexlertown a few times and could see how sad and lonely they both were not knowing what happened to Holly. I told her not to give up hope and I prayed for them. Sometimes God doesn't always answer the way we would like. I want to express my sympathy to the whole family and Holly's son
