to jeanette's family,
i will never forget her and her friendship to me. we only worked together a few years but it seemed like we knew each other forever. we could go months or even years without seeing each other but when we did it seemed like no time apart had passed.. i will always remember her good spirit. and her laugh. boy did we have a lot of laughs working at that mall. may all your good memories get it thru the next few days/weeks . time does heal the pain little by little but she will never be forgotten. she was the best friend i ever had. you were all lucky to have her in your life. my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.. may she rest in peace..

To a great aunt and a great friend. You were such a strong woman. I'm going to miss your positive spirit. You are on the list of people I looked up to, especially as a child. You were my inspiration to becoming a nurse. I hope your at peace. I love you so much. See you on the other side, <3
