Our Sister Lost

We can't believe your gone...

We wasn't always close you see
Sometimes we fought out loud
And said some things we shouldn't have
And went round and round

And strangly when we reflect upon
the times when we were sad
I also remember the tears we shed
When we hurt eachother bad

So in our heart of hearts we knew
the love we shared was true
And everything that goes around
Will some how come back to you

Our Sister Lost

We never got to say
How much you meant to us
Before you went away

So we're writing you this poem
And hoping that you knew
That even though you're gone
We always cared for you

A bouquet of memories
Sprayed with a million tears,
Wishing God could have spared you,
If even just for a few more years,
We love you, we miss you and
We are proud to keep you memory and name alive.

From your Two Sisters with
All Our Love,Thoughts, and Prayers,

To Our Sister Lost,
We can't believe your gone...

We wasn't always close,you see
Sometimes we fought out loud
And said some things we shouldn't have,
and went round and round

And strangely when we reflect upon the times when we were sad
We also remember the tears we shed when we hurt each other bad

So in our heart of hearts we knew
the love we shared was true
And everything that goes around
will somehow come back to you

Our Sister Lost
we never got to say
how much you meant to us
Before you went away

So we're writing you this poem
And hoping that you knew
That even though you're gone
We always cared for you.

Our Love and Prayers,

Forgive me as I struggle to find the right words. It could be 3 in the afternoon in your uniform stopping traffic, or 3 am in the middle of a snow storm on the phone, You would always make me laugh and go out of your way to give me a hard time! That was your way of letting us know we were all right in your book. Well Jean you were all right in our book too! I am not sure friends come any more genuine than you and Norm. May you rest in peace and watch over the rest of us as we continue this unpredictable journey.

Respectfully,

Joe Casey

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Jeannie was a very special person and a wonderful friend. She was caring and sensitive and would go the extra mile for people. I will greatly miss my good friend. My condolances to the family. My prayers are with you.

Auntie Jeanie was truly one of a kind and I am so saddened to know that I can no longer spend time with her. She was a grest Aunt, a great friend and a great neighbor. Ill never forget her smiling face and her cheerful & fun disposition. She was very good to me & my son and we loved her dearly. I miss her so much and will be praying for those closest to her.

Our deepest sympathy to both families on the loss of Jeannie. She was friend to all of the musicians and fans at the jamborees whenever she worked at the American Legion Post 15. We will miss her great sense of humor and smile. From The Members of The Rhode Island Country Music Hall of Fame.

To the Zwolinski and Casey Family I offer my deepest sympathies.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.


This poem helped me through the very difficult loss of my husband, and I hope it brings you the comfort it brought me.

My sincere sympathy goes out to the Zwolinski and Casey families, I have to say I'm in total shock. I know God will watch over all of you to help get you through this sorrowful time of need. Pauline, Honey, Ray etc. my heart hurts inside so very much, I just can't believe it. I used to see her name in the CMA news letter each month, but I was living in Forida at the time and never really knew why it was there, I just want to say I'm so terribly sorry. God Bless you all.
