I have only known "Grandma J" for a short amount of time. I could always see and feel how much she loved her family and how much her family loved and adored her. She was a ray of sunshine and always laughing and smiling. It was truly an honor to get to know Jeannette. She was always so welcoming and accepting of me. 96 years on earth but forever in our hearts.
RIP lovely lady and say "hi" to my daddy!
