While all of us here on earth are grieving for Jeanette, my mom (Pat Babin Scarborough) I know is greeting her at heaven's gates with a warm embrace, for she is back together with her true best friend. Our family has always thought the world of Jeanette, and we know our mom surely did, because we heard NUMEROUS stories of all of the great times they had through all of life's adventures. Whether it was one of their many good times or a trying time in their lives they were always there for each other. So please feel a little peace in knowing she is not alone and in fact back together with her loved ones, including her best friend on earth and now in heaven. Our family sends our warmest, deepest condolences, Don, Stephanie & Doug Scarborough and Jeff & Lisa Sheets.
