Not sure what to say?

Your mom was such a kind person and great neighbor. Going to miss her. Prayers for you and family.

She was always so kind to me and my children and when we would go and stay at her house, I loved aunt Net You always felt so welcome in her home. She cooked the best Meals. She was an excellent cook, and so I felt the least that we could do is before we left to go home back to Shreveport. The kids and I Bart would change the bed linen wash, dry and put up the other vacuum mop, dust empty garbage cans that was the least we could do for her. She left a legacy for sure especially in our hearts...

I will miss you and I love you so much aunt Jeanette. Say hey to Granny Sue and Papal Pete and Mawmal Faye and Grandma Jenkins

You will be missed extremely. We are so blessed to have felt your love and kindness. You always made us feel wanted and loved, and that means more than you will ever know.
