    Jeannette, I am certainly praying for you and your family as you go through this most difficult time of losing your parents so quickly. You most likely do not remember me; but, I used to play with your mother, Betty, when she was a teenager living on River Rd. in Perry, OH. My name then was Rose Butterfield. Later, I married your grandpa George's brother Eugene in 1956. Gene passed away 7/26/2014 shortly after we moved here to Texas so my daughter could help me take care of him with his many medical issues. Sandra and I keep in contact by email. So, I am part of your family by marriage. I saw you a couple of times when you were very young. So my love and prayers are for you and yours. Rose Protzman
