Our family mourns the loss of this special lady - a sister, our mom, our grandmother, our friend, our teacher. We will miss her caring, her generosity, her courage, her presence and her sense of humor which she carried with her - even through the terribly difficult days leading up to her death, still trying to make things as easy as possible on everyone. Each of our lives are better for having known her. The lessons that she taught each of us, through her example, will be with us always. We will try to 'do her proud.' We have all said our good-byes to her. It has been hard, and we have a lot of grieving left to do, but she taught us that life does go on .. so we have reluctantly let her go. We ask that each of you do the same. Remember her in your own way, perhaps by shedding a tear, saying a prayer, smiling at the memory of a funny moment or giving a 'Bingo' yell ...Jeanette was never one who liked a big 'hub-bub' so why start now.
