Mae will be there,Bobbie, but I can not, so I want you to know now how sad I am for you in your loss. I know she suffered enough and now will enjoy being with our God for all eternity. That's a joyful thought. And you will see her again in the glory of God's presence. We are praying for you that you will have the grace from our Father in Heaven to endure until then. Everyone who knew you two, knew Jeanette as a beautiful woman; kind, fun, loving. I remember many times playing cards--even when Mae and I were just dating almost 50 years ago. Hang in Bobbie, all of us who grew up in the Lincoln St. area are with you, in person, or in spirit, during your overwhelming grief.
