I will always remember all the summers we spent in Deadwood with Aunt Jeannie and Uncle Carl. so many stories I could tell, guess the best one is when I thought Mom and Dad was in Aunt Jeannies bedroom and Uncle Carl woke up and I thought it was Mom and Dad and Uncle carl said all he seen was a white steak (my diaper) running out of the room, for yrs they told that story and laughed everytime they told it. I always remember sitting on her lap and telling her she was my prend because I couldn't say friend. I will never forget all the great times we had all the summers we went there. Mom and Dad and Auntie Jeannie was always laughing and never was a bad time. I think those were the best summers of my life going to Aunt Jeannies to visit and be loved by her and always looked frwd to the next summer. I love my Aunt Jeannie very much and will miss her smiling face. Tomorrow is never promised so please make sure you tell your loved ones everyday how much they mean to you, and you love them. All my love to my cousins and thankful their in my life.I love you all!! I know My mother will be happy to be with her sister again for eternity. God now has another very special Angel.Theres a new star in the sky. I wish I could be there..I am in heart and spirit. All my love! Ralynn

My Sister will always be with me in my heart, thoughts and prayers. I have so many beautiful memories I will forever cherish. She was such a loving, sweet and kind person and always loved a good laugh. Her smile was contagious and what a special smile it was. We have a new Angel in Heaven with all our other Angels that have passed on before. I know in my heart Jeannie is at peace and happy to be with all her loved ones walking with God. RIP Dearest one. We will miss her, keep our memories close with us and will forever love her, Maxine and Earl
