Yesterday was tearful, Jeanette will be missed, but she was already an angel on earth, if only everyone could have met her, and how wonderful for those of us who did know her. I met her at the age of nine, and thought she was the nicest lady ever, her sparkling eyes, wonderful smile and sweet voice, Jeanette was the cashier at the grocery store on main street in downtown O. H., all the neighborhood kids went there to buy candy and she always greeted us by name, making a "kid" feel welcome. On our way to the city beach, we would stop just to wave or open the door and yell, "hi Jeanette", she would always take time to say something positive, it's those lasting childhood memories that mean so much. Then, my Dad met Jim , and they started working in the woods, cutting trees to sell, it was a week-end job, as Dad worked for the Navy, and I think Jim was still in the Navy. It was like a Cinderella story for me, Jim & Jeanette were both beautiful people (inside & out).We moved to Mt. Vernon when I was thirteen, so I left my O.H. friends behind, but not forgotten. My parents kept in touch, and as the years went by, Christmas cards were always exchanged, I remember my parents talking about Jim & Jeanette, they always were special friends to them. We moved next door to my parents in 1992, so when Jim & Jeanette stopped to visit, they brought them to see our new mobile home we had just moved in. How the years fly by, raising kids, grandkids, taking care of parents, spouses and working!! Then, when people we love (family & friends) start their journey to Heaven, we feel sad that we thought about them, but didn't take the time to visit them , but we can't live with regret, so I look forward to seeing Beautiful Jeanette again. Sending this note with Love to all of the family , Patty & Daryl
