I met Gigi 1 time, she came to a little Valentines Day party that her grandkids were having. They were so excited to have her there. She stayed for and little bit before she had to go back to work. We had a chance to talk a little, she was a very active lady. She told me what all she does and how any free time she got she would be with her family. The children were all over her laughing and showing her their art projects they had done.
Jeannette will always hold a special place in my heart. We shared our birthdays August 26, our love of golf, playing poker, our zest for travel and love and caring for our friends. I will always remember her WHOOP or “Tell me something good.” These were her favorite words and relayed with such enthusiasm. She sounded like she sang the Tell me something good phrase. These words and her indomitable spirit will remain with me forever. Rest dear friend for we will meet again.
She was a blessing to all that knew and loved her. I miss my golfing, poker & traveling buddy.
I met Jeannette when she joined Gals I Golf. Shirley Guardipee and I were the first ones to play a round of golf with her. It was during that round that Jeannette and I discovered we had both worked for the Beverages at Gourmet Texas in different capacities. She was the Techie And I was their office person. She was always business at the office so I had not yet learned her fabulous personality.
Jeannette and I (and everyone she ever met) became fast friends. That is one of her many positive traits I will always remember.
I can still hear her on the golf course! She made everyone glad to be alive! I know she lived each and everyday to the fullest and I think she checked most everything off her bucket list except living to 200 and kicking cancers butt!!
I am going to miss you Jeannette!
Mamma J were a huge part of my life, I think that the thing I will miss the most is getting to see you come get your fav blizzards and bringing in the girls for dipped cones! They say that as a parent you kinda wing it so that when your a grandparent you can rock it!! GIGI You totally rocked in everything you did and I will forever cherish our moments. You will be missed but never forgotten I love you and I know your in a way better place now so rest at ease and watch over us from up there
My daughter, Haley and I lived down the street from Jeannette, Brad, Jaime, and Tiffany in Plano. We did things together often and her girls would watch Haley when they were available. Jeannette always kept in touch as I moved around and now live in Ohio. Your zest for life, your emails, and your ability to make everyone feel special will be greatly missed. Tiffany, Jaime and all of GiGi’s grandkids wrap yourselves in the precious memories and hold tight to each other! Love you Jeannette, you taught me how to enjoy life to the fullest. You will be forever in my heart dear friend!
I went to Marsh Jr. High and W.T. White High School with Jeannette and she got me in so much trouble. I had moved from Corpus Christi Catholic School to public school. She was remarkable and such a good friend. We were like twins, where she was I was. Even as our lives grew to new adventures we kept in touch. Actually went to a few class reunions together. I will miss her but feel better now she is pain free and with God. My dear friend R.I.P. I will love her forever and already miss her.
Jeannette,
You have been a blessing in so many lives, including mine. I will never forget your generosity when I was going through my breast cancer. I know that many friends and your family will miss you greatly. Please tell Bill W hello for me.
