[IL-Talk] [IABS-Talk] Celebrating Jeannie Massay

Tue May 24 17:21:17 UTC 2022

I like Linda didn't know Jeannie, but I will keep her family in my prayers.  I am also praying for Pat and Dale.  I was disappointed when they left Chicago.  They made me feel very welcome in their home.

I am very very sorry to hear this. She did a lot for the Federation and will be greatly missed. I will keep her family in my prayers.
