Steve, Nancy Jean and family…..
Your Texas family is missing our Jeannie. She gave the baby shower for Mom, almost 62 years ago. She didn’t miss a Homecoming at Baylor, a school play, a wedding or giving my children their first bath, just as she did me! She was our family…no, closer than family. She and Mom were inseparable, joined in a lifetime of memories and love. I have, never will, know such loyal and fun friends.
We must stay in Texas this weekend and surround Mom. She is our priority, which I know you understand. The travel is overwhelming right now the weather is not letting her do what her heart would like. We have spent hours already talking thru memories of Mother’s Day visits and ch chip cookies! Of pulling up to the bar and being served with laughter and love and fantastic cooking in a snap! Our memories are strong, and you are all a part of that because of your amazing mom 🙂 I just hope I thanked her enough for all she meant to me and my whole family.
I love her…she will always be a huge part of who I am.
She will always be a huge part of us all.
love you….
thinking of you….
and praying for laughter thru the tears, because that’s what she would want 🙂
We want to send our heart felt sympathy and prayers. Know that our hearts are with you and share in your grief. However, I know heaven is a little brighter because of Jeannie’s bright smile and effervescent personality. My mom and I enjoyed our visits with Jeannie. Mom would ask about Jeannie after we moved her back to LA. Mom would say, “Well, how is “Bubbles”?”.
Jeannie will be greatly missed. She was a blessing to so many. We would like to be there tomorrow for the funeral services but will be attending another funeral service of Mike’s uncle. Jeannie was a special lady. We loved her like family.
We are also grieving the loss of my mother. She went to be with her Lord and Savior the Friday before Jeannie.
