So sorry to hear about Jeanine’s death. Sympathy to Dward and to her family. Jeanine and I not only were in a string quartet together for several years in Maryland, but she went with me to a chamber music worship in Vermont one summer. We performed together there as well as enjoying a beautiful drive up and back. Making music together makes for great friendships.
What a beautiful tribute to a lovely lady.
I remember Jeannine from our years together at Walkersville Middle. She was always very kind and encouraging. I am so sorry for your family’s loss.
Jeanine and Dward were classmates at Central High School in St. Joseph, MO where both were respected for their talent and ethics. Jeanine was very talented musically and a very likeable person. She will be missed by many. Dward and families, we are so sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences to Dward and the family. Jeannine and I were musical friends and colleagues throughout her time in Maryland. We taught together at Walkersville Middle School and were both affiliated with the Frederick Symphony for many years. She was expert in the field of string pedagogy, a master teacher, and of great help to me early in my career in music education. More importantly, Jeannine was my friend, and I will miss her.
Dear Dward,
Please accept my condolences. I will always remember the wonderful times we shared with Jeannine and you in Jamestown.
Sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Jeannine at Walkersville Middle for several years. I will miss her kindness and friendship.
