Ten times out of ten I’d choose you to be my Mother. Words cannot describe this feeling of lost. You were my biggest fan and I’ll love you until my last breath. Eternally your son Ruben
She was one of the greatest people I have met in my 52 years. She will be missed terribly.
She loved me like a daughter and I loved her like a mother. I will forever miss her sweet soul.
My heart is broken with my sister and 3 brothers. Their mother loved them well. It was obvious. My deepest condolences to Ms. Jeannie’s family & friends. I know she will be missed tremendously.
I pray that the arms of Jesus wrap so tightly around you four. As well as all of the grand babies, during this devastating loss. I do love each of you dearly. Forever……..
My deepest condolences 💐 and prayers for comfort and peace in this difficult time.
Ms Jeannie was one of my very best friends, I had the pleasure of being one of her friends who got to spend many years of laughing with her and taking her dancing we got to spend times just talking about our family, kids, grandchildren! Ms Jeannie was one of a kind and heaven got a beautiful soul , I love you Ms Jeannie always til we meet again
One of the most precious people that I have ever met! She loved you big whenever she saw you! I will miss my sweet friend and my prayers to her family and friends!!
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall softly upon your fields. And until we meet again, May god hold you in the palm of his hand.
I love you my Irish rose
My world has stood still since August 13, 2022 @ 9:32am when I got the call while you were gone on your “golden girl” trip. I’m trying to navigate a new life without you in it and it’s hard, you were not only my Mom but my best friend through everything. The world is literally dimmer without you in it. I’m so grateful for the 40 1/2 years I had you especially when I was sick and scared but I would give just about anything for you to come back. You were our biggest fan and protector and I’m going to miss you forever Momma, love you always
Jeannie and we’re friends since high school. We played sports together and often went down memory lane. She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her.
