Heaven gained a beautiful angel this week, and for the first time in my entire life; I had to live without her on this earth with me. Which has not been easy, your wings were ready but my heart was not. I feel cheated, because you were taken from me way too soon but I am forever grateful for the time I did have with you. My grandma knew the meaning of life and she was the best grandma in the world. I never once left my grandma with an empty stomach, without a hug and kiss, or without knowing how much she loved me and how proud of me she was. Since the day I was born she has always been my biggest fan, from kissing my boo boos, teaching me to cook, supporting my obnoxious elementary dance career ??, and having my back always even when I was wrong. She believed in me, constantly supported me and she always made me feel so incredibly loved. She was so fun, strong, loving, but man was she ornery. She had such a contagious laugh.. I honestly can’t imagine my life without you. I know you can feel my tears and wouldn’t want me to cry but I can’t understand why I had to say goodbye to someone so precious to me. I can only pray that you’ll visit me in my dreams. I pray that one day I’ll be half the grandma to my grandkids that you were to us. I pray you heard me before you left and you know how much you truly mean to me. I pray for the strength to get through the heartache of losing you. Ive never known life without you and my life will be forever changed. Remembering you is easy, but missing you is a pain that won’t go away:
I love you forever, Grandma. Fly high ?? xoxo Your Beautymiss
I will love and miss you every day “Momma Jenny”. Thank you for great times that are now great memories for me. Thank you for being a second mom to me since I lost mine in 2008. I know you will still keep us girls in line even from up there. And I know I will forever and always be hearing “Shut the f–k up” in my head. I love you dearly.
Where do I start… My best friend, my confidant,my world! I miss her so much!
Brandon and Tracy so very sorry for your loss. Will be thinking about you and your family and you are in our prayers.
One of the coolest and kindess ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure growing up w. She was friend and family to me and mine.
Really don’t know where to start love and miss you. I’m glad god aloud me to part of your life I miss that look you would give someone where they didn’t know what was going through your mind but I knew you where cussing them out just not out loud. Thank God for memories because I’ve been sitting back everyday remembering that little Wicked laugh of yours, are how great you where with the kids but especially how you would get in Kim’s ass when she stated getting mean with me. Haha. I could go on for hours we had alot of great times together and I’ll miss that but at least I got time with you and that’s all that counts. Until we meet again love you mom. Your son Geoff.
She was a great person and was like my 2nd mom she will be missed by me and my kids we love u and miss u so much
To say Jenny knew how to live life is an understatement. Whether it was simply sitting around a table talking or out and about she was always fun and full of life. She took care of my babies as if they were her own, in fact they were hers along with my niece and nephews. She was their “Grandma Jenny”. May everyone find comfort in their memories of the caring,fun loving and helpful woman. RIP Jenny, I know you are busy cleaning up and watching over all your loved ones.
I’m so at a loss of words…you were the first one in the family to welcome me with open arms…we had our fights and we had so many good times..my daughter idolized you…u always said she looked so much like you. Aunt Jenny I sure am going to miss you so Damn much..fly high beautiful angel…love you so much
Oh Momma, I miss you so terribly much! There is not a second that goes by in the day that I do not think of you. I’m scared to death I’m going to forget your laughor your smile. The holidays have come and gone, although I know you where there looking down on us,it doesn’t make it easy. My heart hurts so bad! I dont think I will ever get through the days then I wonder how I did! The boys and the kids have been my rock! You would be just as proud of them now as you always have been! Thank you for so many memories I just wish I could have made more with you! I hope you heard me when I told you how much I loved you! My heart knows you are in no more pain. But my own selfishness wants you here with me! Please continue to be my forever angel as I try to get through this thing called life without you!!! You will forever be in my heart and thoughts everyday!! I love you and miss you Momma!!! Your Babygirl, kimber

Give big geoff big hugs i can only imagine your conversations. There is so much going on that i wish you were here to give me the advise you have always given! Not sure im making right decisions…but i will continue to try to make you proud!! I love you and miss you so much my heart aches!!! ill b back to write to you soon momma…keep watching over us all and keep smiling!!! mwah
Well momma it’s me, a lot going on and I just wish you were by my side! Baby Brielle will be here before we know it and I think kota really liked my gift to her with ur voice in the recording! We will tell Bri everyday about you! She will know you as if she’s met you! And she will miss not being able to meet you! You were an awesome Gma and I have no doubt you would have been an amazing GiGi!! My heart is still so heavy I feel like it will never lighten!!! I talk to you every day and every night! I know your in no more pain and I know your with Gma and Gpa but that doesn’t make it easier!!! I’ve had u for 44 years, it haven’t been a year yet and I don’t know how I make it through without you!! I love you momma with all my heart and soul!!!
Happy Happy Birthday Momma!!! My very first one without you! There are so many things going on and I wish you were here to see everything unfold. Although I know in my heart you had a hand in all of this! Mom. I just feel so lost without you! I laid in your bed this morning and sang happy birthday to you… just miss your hand on my forehead as I belted it out so terribly and hearing you say thank you and kissing me and rubbing my cheek then me telling you, you have to get up cuz we were going to breakfast and bday shopping…. you would pull the covers over your head and yell not now it’s to early while laughing, then you would get up. Oh the things I remember. I was making coffee in the mornings just cuz that’s what u did everyday( all day) Teagan is doing well mom, like his dad,all he does is work! Dakkota just bought a house and waiting on Brielle to get here( she is over ready) lil geoff just moved into his own place (when did our baby get old enough) you would be just as proud of them now as you have always been! Shannon is finding himself still, Today is kinda hard on him. Brandon and Tracy are doing good- Nathan has grown so much you wouldn’t recognize him (you would) and still playing ball and Jackson is such a big boy now and he is playing soccer. I know you are watching over us all Momma. Please continue to do so!!! I hope you are dancing and laughing till it hurts! Today and everyday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA! I love you!!!
Oh Momma, I know you would be so proud of your Beautymiss!! I do believe this was part of your doing. Brielle is here and is absolutely perfect!! She looks just like sissy!!! I know you would never leave Kota’s side and she would have to force you to! I know you would be pinching those chubby cheeks all day. I miss you so much. There are so many things going on I just wish you were here to take on this journey with me of being a grandma. I hope I am half the grandma you were! I want to make memories with Brielle and I want her to remember things about me and talk about me the way the kids talk about you! I love you momma and as this has not gotten any easier I wonder how I’m gonna do this. Obviously no book comes with being a new mom ( or Gma) and you were there every step of the way with me. I will make sure I do everything with kota that you did with me! Congratulations GIGI I know you are beaming with pride!!! I love you Mom! ?????? I miss you! ??
Hello Momma,
Here again, Having a hard day! Just need to chat with you! I feel like I’m letting all the important people down. I feel I am not doing enough. I just wish you were here to tell me everything will be ok like you always did. Not that I listened but it was nice to hear. I miss your laugh and I miss your face!! I miss hearing you sing when you thought no one was listening. I just genuinely miss everything about you!!! I hope you are singing and laughing. I know you are spending time with Gma who you have missed so much! I now know the pain you had in your heart from missing your momma! I love you and I will be back to talk to you soon! Your Babygirl alaways!! ????
Hi Aunt Jen you know momma misses you so much, she still warms up her coffee at least 6-7 times a day, I have now taken over the “how many times you going to warm up that coffee pammie” part, she says it makes her feel better. We physically dont have you with us but you will always be with us we know what you were to us and always will be. While things were done different than what you would of wanted we know you are here always. We all have our plots that I bought before all this. You have a stone there that little daniel goes to to talk to aunt schenny (his french name as always lol). He tells us all about how God isn’t fair to take his aunt Jenny. He misses you and loves you. We all do. Little Daniel has had it rough the past few months and I absolutely think you were watching over him a few days ago at his doctors appointment (thank you that’s my baby). Speaking of babies you never even got to know I was pregnant much less had another baby. Little Levi was born july last year he is a cutie and mom and Daniel love him so much. He is just learning to crawl were all excited. In may I bought a house out by mark twain. Ken came out to see it mom and Steve are there. We all love it. You would love it… Steve retired so he gets to travel with us now..however we agree its just not the same without you. You will forever be with us and a part of us. We are reminded everyday. And yes I have my coca cola/ Betty boop basement in the new house and we absolutely love it. Daniel has a pic in his room he likes to keep in there for bed time, although you didnt get to meet him Levi has one in his room and we all have tons of pictures of you everywhere. We love you aunt jen always
I miss you
Momma, You’ve been heavy on my mind that is nothing new! You would be so proud of all of your grandchildren. Brielle just turned 2 and she talks about you. I cry as She never got to meet you but after this I know she has! She talks to her momma about you, and that makes my heart happy! DAKKOTA is an amazing mommy! TEAGAN working to much as always! Lil Geoff getting married , you would love his fiancée! I wish you could be here to see it but I know you will be there no matter what!They say when your love one passes you never get over it and boy could that not be any truer! There isn’t a day that goes by that you are not brought up in a conversation! You are always in my thoughts! I miss you just as much today as the day I had to say goodbye to you! Things have definitely changed ..some for good, some not so good. Please keep watching over us and keep listening when we talk to you! I love you momma and miss you terribly! Your one and only babygirl!
