Tom,
I am so sorry I missed the service. I honestly didnt think it would be so soon. I've been telling Jeff everyday to keep his afternoons free. I will miss LaJeannia and her spunky "tell ya like it is" attitude. This office still does the same thing to me that LaJeannia did as far as my name. LaJeannia would call me Marie....A. It was so funny to hear her yelling across the hall Marie then she would add the "A" on the end. I am so glad you started working for CMG and met her. Im glad her last years on Earth were spent with you; you were her Angel. You have mine and Jeff's deepest sympathy.

I have never known anyone quite like LaJeannia! She had a very brave and deeply caring heart and a drive and determination that was amazing to watch in action!! She made me want to be a better person each time I watched her fight for her health while putting forth every effort she had to take care of family, co-workers, her job, her puppies, and finally, the 2 beautiful little boys she and Tom loved and devoted themselves to while they fostered them into a loving home. What a lady she was!! I'm sorry Tom for your loss. I know you loved her because it glowed on your face everytime you looked at her and she looked the same at you. Hang onto God through this and know that many prayers are going up for your comfort and strength as you try to move on past this. LaJeannia has been made whole once again and she is in heaven with no regrets. We will see her again one day if we just hang on to God and trust His word for our lives!

With my deepest sympathy to you and your family,

Tom and Family,
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers right now and in the days to come.
Lajeannia was a very special lady. I will forever hear her customary "hey kid" everytime I think of her.
Heaven gained another star to shine down upon you all. Everytime a butterfly lands upon your hand, close your eyes and know she is there.
May God comfort you during this time of need and please let me know if there is anything that I can do.

Tom and family, I was schocked and saddened to hear of LeJeannas passing. She was a fighter. She was a very caring person. She was a great foster mother.She put her whole heart in to the children that she fostered. Tim and I are so grateful to care and love that the both of you gave to the boys. May God place his arms around you and your family and carry you through this most difficult time. LeJeanna is your guardian Angel in heaven and I know that she is looking down all of you. Braiden, your grandmother loved you so much. She will always be in your heart. She is not in anymore pain and her body is whole.LeJeanna God said your work here on earth was done and called you home. We will miss you dearly.
