I am so sorry to learn of your mother’s passing. All the time that Lana and I spent together at your home in Asheville and Hendersonville your mom always made me feel as though I was very welcome and another one of the kids while I was there. I remember her sweet smile and laugh. I have and always will cherish the memories I have of your mother and the times I spent with all of you.
I am a RN and worked on 2 West at Pardee on night shift in the 1980’s following your loved one. She was a very good nurse and her patients appreciated all that she did for them. I am sorry for your loss.
I love all you guys and I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Jeanette meant so much to our family.

comfort knowing that your mom,
