Meg and John Albert, I am so sorry about the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful lady always thoughtful of others. I really missed her this year when I answered phones. That was the first I heard about her illness. You both were favorite students and my heart goes out to you. My prayers and love will continue to be with you.

My heart-felt sympathy goes out to the Earney family. I got to know Janine years ago when I was lifestyles editor at the Evening Times and she was director of the Crittenden County Arts Association. I have fond memories of those years. She was a terrific lady and is sure to be missed by many in the community.

During our days at Ole Miss, Janine was always there with a smile and a helping hand. I will always remember her as a wonderful person and feel privileged to have her as a friend.

John Albert and Meg, our hearts and thoughts are with you both during this difficult time. May your struggles ahead be light and may you find comfort in knowing she will always be with you. Love and peace to you both, Diane and Steve Tschabold.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Earney family during these difficult times.
May each of you find the peace and understanding that only God can provide.
May each of you find comfort in knowing that she is reunited with Jay and lives on through your memories.

Dear kids,
I am so sorry to hear of this great loss. Your mother was a wonderful lady and friend. We spent much time together doing Junior Auxiliary activities and much more. I am certain the entire town will miss all the great things she did for West Memphis.
Much love and prayers,
B.K.

We met her many times through Connie. She was such an amazing, vibrant woman. We are so sorry for her family and many friends.

To the Earney Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss; I remember when she and Jay first married; I believe they lived in a little house on Pine Street next to the Methodist Church. I lived not far on Oliver Street and used to stop in and see them when they were newlyweds. They were such a handsome couple. My prayers are with you all.

Sincerest sympathies to the Earney family - Meg and John Albert. Your mother was a fine lady and will be missed.
