Memories and Condolences

My Aunt Josephine will always be remembered by me as a kindhearted soul, loving mother and special Aunt.
She made our stays in her home something to remember. She would always pamper us with individual meals. I still think her hoagies were the best I have ever tasted. She was a devoted mother, making sure her young children were taken care of. I will always remember her as always working, never sitting still for one moment.
She always thought of others first, because when we went to take a picture, she said she wasn't ready, properly dressed or would try and fix her hair quickly and straighten any wrinkles in her clothing or wipe off some crumbs from a meal she was preparing. But she only did this after fixing her one of her son's hair or asking them to straighten up or tuck in a shirt.
She always came across as the one who was busy working in the kitchen, cleaning up and making sure her boys and husband were on schedule, dressed and fed individually to meet their own desires.
She had a warm smile that would make you feel loved. I admired her dedication to the church and that she loved music enough to encourage John to play.
She watched over and took care of many and it was nice to see her take care of her mother and others in her home.
The world is worse off without her and God has set aside a special place of rest for her and another opportunity to play wonderful music just for Him.

Love,

Mike & Nancy Jette and all the girls

Mom, It's been 5 months and 13 days since you have left this earth and you are missed so much every day. I wanted to let you know that you are a Grandmother once again. Ms. Audrey Claire Jette was born on Friday, July 13th at 6:34pm. I'm thinking she will look just like her Babcia when she was a young girl.

We miss you, We love you always, and know you are sending your prayers and love from above!

Miss you so much, couldnt even put it in words. Love you forever!!!

To have lost my Mother so soon and for you to carry me under your wing was such a admirable thing who knows what wonders you'll bring to the angels yearning to sing never felt such a terrible sting waiting for the telephone to ring but up like a bubbling spring you will rise again. Thank you for everything. I will always love you and always miss you. You were the best friend i've ever known.My mother,my grandmother,my heart,my soul,my confession,my life. I hope God gets e-mails.Smile for us.Love Lucien............

I would like to send my deepest sympathies to my cousins and their families. Aunty Jo was a great lady.She had a way to make you feel that you were never a burden on her. I have fond memories of all the time we spent there on vacations. Aunty Jo was always ready to please with food and laughter. I can remember her great smile and her laugh like I heard it ths morning. My heart is sad for such a loss that we all share, my memories will last a lifetime and for that I am grateful for having the pleasure of knowing such a kind,gentle and caring woman.

Always in my heart.

We all have been deeply saddened by this death. We are much worse off without our Mothers, but we have to remember all that our mothers did for us while they were among us. I can remember your mom doing everything in the world for you boys. I was amazed by her ability to remember and make the food you wanted for every meal. Everyone got what they wanted, she had a wonderful disposition, always smiling even when things were not going well. I loved that she brought wonderful music into your home. She was a tireless worker inside and out of the home. I know she loved you boys the best way she knew how to. I have very fond memories of our trips to your home and your mom certainly was an important part of making those times memorable. Our prayers go out to all of you, and I hope a little of Josephine stays with all of us.

Respectfully,

Mike Jette

On behalf of Nancy, Jennifer,Kelly, Kimberly and Rebecca.

It is very sad. I know they say it's the way of life but when you have someone so briefly but so lovely and generous in your life you get attacthed to them. You have this love for them that is built out of kindness and friendship. She was a wonderful women. One that god just had to take away because he knew she was his biggest supporter, in all she did in the church, community, and for her family & friends. I just wish I could have told her this, because she deserved to know how everyone felt about her.
She was an incrediable person thru & thru.
I Miss you Grammom Jette, until we meet again.

Grandmom, I really dont want to say good bye. For the past eight years you have been a great part of my life. When Lucien and I started going out, you welcome me , as your own. And I thank god everyday for someone like you. Also am so greatful for the fact that you got to spend the first year of your great grand-daughters life with her. I wish it could have been longer. I always called you grandmom, because you always made me feel like family, so thank you. You were the person I called just to talk to, the person that made Luke feel better about life, and most of all the person that was always by our sides. To lose you, is very upsetting, I feel if, I just act like your home, your still here, but I know thats not true, I so badly want you to answer the phone, but your not going to. Am not sure what life will bring without you, but I hope you are in a better place now! I am sure you are because youre the greatest person I have ever known! I am happy to say, that many people feel the same way. I love you and hope you know that. Veronique will always be reminded of you, I will never let her go a day without, letting her know of her Great Grandmother Jette. I dont know how to end this, but I love you and one day I will get to hug you again, until then We will miss!
