I hope you are sharing all the great memories of growing up in a crazy fun loving family. Aunty Jeannie was a fun, wonderful, caring person who will be sadly missed by all who were blessed to know her. NO Matter what your problem she could make you smile!!! It was nice to see each other again after so long but I wish it had been for a different reason. As the saying goes the good die young. keep in touch. love always your cousin Lisa
My father also wants me to express his sympathies in the loss of your mother and a dear friend.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Lori, Joey, Michael, and Deb,
I am so sorry to hear of your moms passing. I remember how much fun it use to be when I would come to your house with my Auntie Jean to see you all. I remember the first time I ever danced at a wedding was at my Aunt Jean and Uncle Al's wedding and my first dance was with your Mom. She will always be in my thoughts and you all in my prayers. God Bless you all.
Please contact me.

Dearest Joe: Please accept our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy at your great loss. I remember one of Jeannie's favorite songs was by Patsy Kline, "I Fall to Pieces" which I guess we are all doing now. May you and the family all find comfort in loving memories of good times shared.
