We extend our love and our sorrow to you for the passing of Sister Galbraith, my next door neighbor for all of my childhood years.

Ernie and family: Scott and I were sorry to hear of your loss. Jeneve was a lovely, gracious little lady and her quilts are truly amazing.
What a wonderful, beautiful, gracious woman she was and still is! We have been among the many blessed and grateful recipients of her beautiful talents. She lived well, served well, and will be sorely missed. We send our love, prayers and deepest sympathy.
God Bless
Our gentle friend has passed beyond the discomforts of her recent days. In that we can take solace – but there is much to be missed. Her home was a place of genteel welcome. She shared humor that is worth retelling. Our daughters remember her as a favorite teacher, who taught them by example to be ladies of culture. She was an artist with her handiwork. And in her last hours, she assured us that there are loved ones who wait beyond the veil. So we know that she waits also.

The favorite blanket in our home is the quilt the two Galbraith women taught and helped me to make 27 years ago.
There are many fond memories of Jeneve and the Galbraith family. There was teaching a lefty home living skills while in primary, my first Christmas card of the season was always from Jen and Ernie. Jeneve was full of talent and grace. A loving person that has been quietly supportive for so many years. It feels like a part of my past has been taken. She will be missed. My prayers and support go to Ernie and his family.
Gen and my mother were friends for many years. She made a precious piece of my temple clothing out of friendship to my mother. It is the most perfect piece of handwork I have ever seen. Mom June Worlton died 18 months ago. I like to think of them reunited in their glory. Both were such good women, sorely missed on earth.
