Dear Steve, Jackie, Stevie and the Forbes Family there are no words to say how sorry I am, Jeanie was the light and laughter in the room or anywhere I will miss my dear friend so much she always had the right words to say and a smile that went with them. She was so proud of her Family she would always show me the latest pictures and videos of her beautiful grandchildren when I would walk down to the house, or she would be talking to them with her smile. I know she will be at peace for she led a beautiful life God bless
