We met Jeanette a couple years ago through Brian. We were so blessed to be a part of her life. She lit up the room with her beautiful smile and the times we had together were always full of laughter and great times. Our hearts are forever broken for her and Brian’s passing. Prayers to all of her family and friends as she is missed so much. Love Tammy and Thomas Moore.
Jeanette was a beautiful person—my sympathy for her family.
