Jeanette you are missed and was sort of stunned to hear the sad news.

Dear Family of Jeanette,

We were sorry to hear about the death of your mother. We have not had much contact with your Mom for many years, but I do remember her warm smile and bright eyes, and always gentle words. I remember well how she tried to help us with our grandson, Mason, and his seizure history.

Though your hearts are sad at this time, please remember all the blessings of life you shared with her. We are praying that God will comfort your hearts, uplift your spirits and carry you through this time of sadness to a place of peace.

With deepest sympathy,
Mercola and Martinez Families
Madisonville, Louisiana

I will miss Jeanette's generosity, kindness, honesty, and sense of humor. Most of all, I will miss her ability to "tell it like it is". She worked hard her whole life and was a joy to work with at the Mercola clinic. She will be missed by many. Sending her family and friends lots of love and comfort.
