I enjoyed helping take care of Mrs Jett for a short while. Im sure she will be missed by those who knew her and loved her. We can look forward to Job 33:25 coming true where God says he will restore youthfulness to ones plagued by old age and taken in death. This gives me great hope. I pray that the family and friends of Mrs. Jett take care.

Weedie was a brilliant and beautiful woman who made everyone she was around smile. We've missed her for so many years ... the alzheimers took her from us long ago. But those precious memories of our past together will be cherished for all time. Till we meet again ...
