I have learned so much from you through all these years. Having you as a Grandmother is and was such a blessing. I will always remember our trips we all had together and being partners on crime at the dollar stores and good will. I will miss you, but I know you are watching over is all. I love you a bushel and a peck.

My deepest condolences to the family. I was so saddened by the news of “Aunt” Jeanette’s passing.

I am honored and blessed to have know Jeanette. She was a very special person – so loving, kind and FUN !! ( and she could cook )
My life was truly enriched just by knowing her.

May God wrap his loving arms around you ALL and comfort you during your time of sorrow.

You were and are my Mom, my teacher and most of all my friend. There is a big hole in my heart but it will be filled with all my memories of you and your love. I love you mom and will miss you until the day I join you and the rest of the family.

To the entire family, I just learned today of Jeanette’s passing. She was a very special person and my Mama’s dear, lifelong friend, they traveled many miles, shopped many “thrifts” and garage sales and had many adventures together over the years and now they are reunited again. You are all in my prayers. Amy “Cobb” Deaton
