Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the family. What a kind soul she was and a dear friend to my dad. I will always be grateful for that. I still have the quilt she made for him, it's been loved so much it needed a few repairs over the years but I intend to keep it forever. Rest in peace Jeanette.

She was my big sister and protector from the Nuns when I was a kid. When I grew up she was still always on my side no matter what. She stayed and took care of me after my husband died and I took care of her as her health declined because that's what sisters do. She's not here anymore but I still talk to her every day, because that's what sisters do.

I worked at the vet clinic Jeanette brought her fur kids to. I always enjoyed chatting with her and loved when she told me she retired. Prayers to all those she touched.
