The Woman Behind It All by Ashley Dunn

Jeanette,

I know I didn't know you that well, but I see you living through your three beautiful daughters. I do know that you were a great mother, hard working business woman, hilarious, & very loving. The few times we got to see each other, you always treated us girls (Carissa's friends) like your own. You welcomed us with open arms. I know you're up in heaven singing, dancing, & having a wonderful time! I will look after your baby girl, Carissa for you.

Love you,
Ashley

Gahhh!!! by Adrian Balansay

Auntie Jeanette! You were most definitely the craziest of the Sisters. You were always so funny and had such a funny laugh and you were always so loud and stuff. I remember telling you to shush one time because you were so loud. Oh! And also, I remembered back in Fort Worth, like.... years ago... I think it was Jessica's wedding, and you were so tired and sore that you asked me to walk on your back! I was so little back then, lol. And then you were like, "hoy, babyy, ill gib you 20 dollars to massage my back, huh, come on." And so I did, and you fell asleep! And you never gave it to me, lol. Im really sad that you didn't come with Auntie Maribel to our house earlier this year. I miss you hecka hecka hecka mucho. I remember my last memory of you was in December, when you were sick, and you couldn't come visit us for our party and you were talking to Auntie Lynn. I had just played a song her her and she said I should sing it for you because you were sick and it would make you feel better. So she called you and told you all about it then she gave me the phone and I talked to you for a little bit, and I told you that I had learned to play the guitar! So I played and sang O Holy Night for you because it was the holidays. And auntie lynn was there sitting next to me. And when I finished the song you had started crying. I asked you what was wrong and you told me that I had an amazing gift and that it made you feel so much better that I sang for you because I hadn't since I was a little kid. I remember you told me to go for American Idol, and because I remembered that, it sparked my mind to try out for American Idol, but I didn't make it. But you always told me not to give up, so im gonna keep on trying for you Auntie. I love you and miss you so much.

The Queen of My Heart by Jessica Suamsoong

Mommy you are the Queen of My Heart! You have left a legacy of grace, strength, respect, faith, honesty, boldness, beauty, and most of all love! You helped when you thought you had nothing to give but your wise and loving words, even those not so loving words helped every person you touched become a stronger person. You are my hero and my strength and will live on forever in my soul and spirit. May God hold you close in his arms as you live in eternal paradise with Papa Candi, Dad, Mac Mac,Gizmo, your grandbabies and all of heavens angels. I will never get over losing you but will learn to live without your physical body - you are my strength and I love you so much it hurts but I am happy you are finally getting the rest and care you so truly have deserved. Please continue to send down your guidance and wisdom to your girls and grandchildren until we meet you in heaven, our final home. Mahal forever mommy. Your middle daughter, Jessica Ann.
