    Jeannie was a very special person to me. We go back to our childhood as friends and kept in touch very often and I made at least 2 annual trips to see her. I will miss our times of picking pecans in the fall. She was so special to me. We felt as tho we were sisters.

    Words cannot express what the heart feels for the loss of your mother. Jean was a very special friend and will be greatly missed. She is having a great reunion with Curtis and left you guys many wonderful memories. I didn't get call for "Watermelons" one more time. Loved you Sweet Lady.
