Lincoln, NE Friday, August 1, 2014 I'm so sorry, my dear friend, that I deserted you when you needed me the most. It's so hard to believe that just a year ago, we were sitting under the maple tree at the Manor, going to Long John Silver's together, and just enjoying the talks and fun we had. I've missed your company all these months, and will miss you always, Jeannine. You were a true, devoted friend, and you helped me in more ways than I can count after my knee surgery. I know that right now, you're happier than you've been in a long time...you're with with Ralph again. Goodbye, my friend. Love ya. KarenMelody Flessner

I'm sorry, but will be unable to attend her Memorial service as I'm so crippled up with arthritis, rare go anymore and depend on my Heidi for help. She is in Vermillion, SD. Your mom loved her kids and grandkids so much, proud of all of you. Remember Tom & Bobbie who were old and dear friends. Hope you kids are doing well, once in a while Heidi will show me pics on Facebook of the family, I'm not good at keeping in touch as arthritis has affected my hands so bad, but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers, Melody Flessner and FamilyTerri K
