Oh my dear Jeannine, we were just about to meet for the first time in a very long time. I never did get the chance to tell you why you were my favorite. Well I’ll tell you here, you reminded me of myself when I was around 4 yrs old. The middle child. And I just want you to know, it wasn’t me who ratted you out for putting the hot popcorn pop on the carpet and burning a big hole in it. I tried to cover it up with coffee table but that didn’t work for too long. I felt terribly responsible for that because I was babysitting, I hope you didn’t get into much trouble. I know you grew up to be quite a beautiful woman inside and out and I felt proud of you when we spoke. As the song goes, you were always on my mind…. And you will always be.
I know you’re going to a better place but that doesn’t make anybody feel any better because you’ll be missed so badly.
Love Bobo.
Uncle Bob, Aunt Elizabeth, Jane, Jeanne, Heather and families,
We have spent the day together in Ontario thinking of you all and reminiscing stories of Jeannine. We are so sorry that you’ve lost such a special daughter, mom, sister and aunt. We had giggles with lots of cousin stories. We all send hugs and know Jeannine has touched so many life’s. Our love to you all.
