Dearest Cousins
I was so sorry to hear about Cousin Jeanne's passing. She was such a beautiful gentle lady. Always a wonderful smile and kind words for all of her family. I am in FL so I can't be with you for her mass but I will go to mass here and I truly believe she had a straight trip to heaven so at mass I will ask Jeanne to guide us all so we can join her when our time comes to be with her. I know all her LaFatch aunts and uncles are so glad to be with her again.
Fondly
Cousin Carol LaFatch Kline
I was fortunate enough to be her last caregiver before she went to the nursing home. We enjoyed countless hours of conversations. We laughed and joked about past experiences in our lives. I learned some much from her. I will always cherish the time spent with her. Rest in heaven my sweet friend.
To me, Mary Jeanne was my Great Nonnie. I am so lucky I got to experience the vibrant person she was. She was the funniest in the room and always the most loving. She always gave the best hugs. One of the last times I saw her, she gave me a pearl necklace. My Nonnie, Carol Howald, and I took her on a walk and she said “ I think you dropped something.” There was a little red pouch and she had a great big smile on her face. I will always cherish that smile.
Love,
Heidi
It's not going to be the same. I'm flooded with memories. I am going to miss you so much. Especially your humor and how you reached for a hug and smiled whenever you saw me.
I have so many memories with my Nonnie. A funny one was when we were at uncle Bud's for Christmas one year. I was pulling up my sleeves to help with the salad, which exposed a tattoo on my arm. I never saw her move so fast. She grabbed my sleeve and pulled it down so uncle Walt wouldn't see. Funniest part is that I recently learned that uncle Walt's grandson is a tattoo artist and has a lot more ink than me!
But I think my most favorite memory was years ago when I was a new mom. I remember going to visit her a lot with my 2 little ones. We would go see uncle Walt and her and I would sit and talk while I nursed my son, Johnny. Uncle Walt would take my daughter, Kennedi, to go pick cherry tomatoes or visit with Jack and Beans next door. Such a simple memory that means the world to me. Rest in heaven Nonnie. Please give my Momma and brother a big hug from all of us!
Thank you for being the best mom anyone could ask for. You always put us first. You made sure we had the best you could manage. You led by example and taught us well. You ensured we would become the best we could. Thank you for being my mother. I love you so much and will miss you everyday till we are together again. All of my love, J
