July 19, 2009. She had just been released from the hospital but insisted on going to her grandpa's birthday celebration in Corcoran, Ca. Her husband drove her down with the kids. They first stopped at her dad's house so her husband could go golfing with his Fresno friends. It was very hot that day when she called me. I offered to go pick her up and drive her to Corcoran. She agreed and so we both went to Corcoran around 3:00 p.m. The party was inside and outside the house. All the relatives were there. My mother, who had open heart surgery was in her room lying down and resting when we arrived. Jeannette was so excited to see everyone and joined in the conversations. Before long, I could not find her and when I did, I almost cried. She was in her grandma's room along with my cousin Angela, Barbara Ann and sister, Brenda. They were all praying for Jeannette. My mom was so happy to see Jeannette. It was so very hot that day and Jeannette was feeling uncomfortable so I asked her if she wanted to leave and go to my place and rest. She agreed and we left at around 7:00 p.m. That was the very last time my mother and father and all the relatives seen Jeannette alive. I could tell by the way she was holding her breast that it hurt. I put my car air conditioner on blast and so she felt cool and dozed off on the drive to my house in Fresno. I want anyone that reads this post that Jeannette was beautiful inside and out. She showed compassion to her loved ones, especially her grandma, who is in heaven with her. I miss them so much. My Jeannette will never be forgotten. No, Not Never.
