I thank you, beloved Jeannine, for being the friend you always were to me, and for being one of the kindest and most loving people I have ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever been blessed to share this beautiful planet with. I thank God that now you are out of the grips of what you dealt with. I thank our precious God that I was blessed to share the 10August oneness meditation with you; how incredibly wonderful and sweet that time with you was!!! You were always an angelic and beautiful light while you were on this earth with us, and you will *always* be that angelic and beautiful light to us and for us. I love you forever, precious, beloved one. And I ask God's deep peace for you forevermore. You will always be a bright angel in my heart. Loving you with all my heart and thanking God with all my heart for having known you and been blessed by you and your beautiful friendship.

Jeannine (J9),

You will be so truly missed. Thanks for all you have taught me through school and working with you at Children's Hospital. You probably never knew how you inspired me as teacher, co-worker and friend. I always looked forward to see you everyday at work and see your smile or get those good hugs that you gave to me. I love you and will miss you so much.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Jolene, Rick, Kevin and Family,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for all of you. May God's love and blessings help you to get through this.

August 27, 2012

I have known Jeanis since 1978, she came into my life as a sister friend. We did so much together in the time I knew her, laughed, loved, cryed and hugged. Watched her children grow as well as mine, how can you let such a loving soul leave your heart and travel to another place beyond, I am trying to cope with this and feel the love she radiated daily, until I see you again my friend, much love
