I shared this at Jeanette's interment:
Jeanette and I were very close as kids. She was the fun big sister who would let me tag along once in a while. As circumstances changed and she moved about we didn't see each other as often. But we were often there for each other. When my kids had chicken pox she took time off work to watch them when I had to be away. Jeanette stayed with us after her bi-pass surgery. She and Pat would come and house sit when we were on vacation.
She had a quirky sense of humour, some would say warped. She loved to reminisce about past events. She was known to embellish these stories. Often others wouldn't remember them the same way. Pat would often like to give her take on the situation. I like to think of them up in heaven now bickering about what exactly happened.
She had a lot of heartbreak and trauma in her life and she coped as best she could. Thankfully, she is now at peace with no more pain.
As Andrea said in her humourous obituary, Jeanette would say, "That we would miss her like a whole in the head", but in truth we will all miss her very much. She has left a little whole in our hearts.
