Jannelle had a fun sense of humor and an infectious smile.  She loved learning new things, drawing, and visiting with friends and family. She enjoyed playing the guitar, keyboard, harmonica, and was learning to play the Clarinet. Her interests ranged from jet engines to ancient hieroglyphics to the space-time continuum.  She wrote poetry and told great stories.  Jannelle, we love you and will miss our long conversations about everything and nothing.
