My deepest condolences to all. Never had the opportunity meet her. But with all the pictures of Jeanie, her children & grandchild. I know the love that Jeanie shows is the same love that Catherine showed as well..

Today my heart is very heavy as my family has lost a very special family member. Rest in peace grandma you left this world leaving so many memories, and quotes that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. You had the most unique character and definitely had the most energy out of any 85 year old woman I ever knew. The only 85 year old probably anywhere that's favorite place to visit was still the casinos in Atlantic city. I'm gonna miss you so much.

Posting this with a very heavy heart tonight. Grandmom I know my pop is so very happy to welcome you back into his arms, but we are all very sad to let you go from ours. I am so happy you are at peace now. But trust me when I say I will miss you dearly and I will be forever greatful that this past Christmas I was able to spend some time together just you and me. You told me stories, you told me how much my pop loved me you told me to enjoy my youth, I could go on and on because we talked for hours and my heart is full knowing that I was able to sit there with you that Christmas morning and speak honestly about my life to you. I truly enjoyed
Your company Grandmom and I loved hearing all your stories and most importantly I loved hearing that you were proud of me. "We all make mistakes car, it happens, just learn from them, grow from them, and move forward. Know that your family will always be here for you no matter what" these were the last words you said to me, before you hugged me goodbye. I have a full heart knowing I was able to acquire this last piece of wisdom from you.It saddens me I will never again bring you your Christmas morning platter, but it warms my heart knowing next Christmas you get to eat your platter with pop. Give my pop and all of my other angels up there a big hug for me......oh Grandmom I love you so so much I hope that there are tons of slot machines up there for you <3
