| My beloved Mother and my sis Donna |
My mother, Angie Balderama lived in Corcoran, California. Hundreds of miles apart from Jeannette. This did not stop her from loving her granddaughter. She was there for me when Jeannette was born and I needed help. She and Jeannette had a very close relationship. Jeannette would go with her to Sunday School and my mom would teach her about the bible. During Jeannette's ordeal with cancer, my mom also was sick and had heart surgery in 2009. Jeannette called me even though she was gravely ill at the time and told me this. "Ma, please be there for grandma and I wish I could be there too." I still have her voice on my cell phone telling me to be there for her grandma. At one point in time she told me she wished that grandma would die first so she could hold her hand in heaven when she got there. My mom died only three months after Jeannette. The moment before she died she had her eyes closed and her right arm went straight up as if she was pointing to Heaven. She died close to midnight on Christmas Day. I find comfort in believing that right now as I write this about her she is in Heaven holding Jeannette's hand. I miss them both so much.
