Hello again, everyone.
Jeanette remains at Angela Hospice, where they have taken very good care of her thus far. She has become comatose and unresponsive except for the occasional mumble or movement, and we have been advised that it won't be long now. The family is maintaining a 24-hour vigil at her side; I usually get the night shift. Our idea is that she shouldn't be alone when she crosses over, although we don't know exactly when that will be.
My thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to the boys' Christmas-- you helped us turn lemons into lemonade and they're in good spirits.
Regards,
Mark

I have been thinking about and praying for Jeanette and your family day and night. Jeanette is and always will be my hero and I am so very grateful I was able to reconnect with her. My only regret is we didn't connect sooner. She is the definition of strength, courage, friendship, inspiration, and love. I will always treasure the times we had together. My family will continue to pray for Jeanette as she leaves us to go live with Jesus and will continue to pray for God's peace for you and your family.

I am glad to hear they have been taking good care of Jeanette. I have had family members who were there at the Hospice Center and who were part of their home hospice service; all were treated with respect and dignity.
I have been praying for Jeanette and for all of you. I hope you all will be able to find continued peace, comfort, and above all else, strength, in these coming days.
If there is anything I can do for you or the family, please let me know!
With love,
Darrell

Teresa said all. Jeanette truly was the definition of strength, courage, friendship, inspiration and love. The only thing that I would add is that she was a model person in all aspects of her life whose footsteps everyone should try to follow. A terrific mother, hardworker, with an optimistic attitude that goes unsurpassed. May we all learn something from her life and struggles.
With much love,
Carol & Josh Bettridge

I have been thru this when my mom died. Lucky for her I should say that the suffering lasted only for an hour. That is why we need to take care of our health specially a good attention to Women's Health
