My condolences to Joe, Seth, Adam and all of the Malinowski and Petraitis family and all of her friends. She was a ray of sunshine, no matter the circumstances, she was always upbeat. It is so hard to think of her passing, when we were just talking to each other a few days before she passed away. So Sad, such a great great person, taken away so young, but maybe the good Lord has a job for her watching over all of us. That would be the best we could pray for. Rest in Peace Jeannie.. You'll always be missed and loved.
