Jeannette often went to Corcoran, Ca. A small town southwest of Fresno, Ca. A small town that happened to have her grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins living there. She lived in the big city of Los Angeles area in a town called Thousand Oaks but her heart was in Corcoran. I felt the same as her. I was raised in that little town. Back in the day almost everybody knew each other. I now live in Fresno but in my future plans I will move back into that little town. So many memories. Memories of Jeannette traveling there to go to church. She seeked out her grandparents during her battle with cancer. She didn't care if there were no shopping outlets or fancy places to eat, etc. All she cared about was being with her loved ones and going to church. She once told me that she felt the most loved when she was in the company of me and my side of the family. Especially her dear grandmother. Jeannette has left Thousand Oaks forever and her dear grandmother has left Corcoran forever but they shall forever be in all our hearts. Her grandpa is 85 and living there on Dairy Avenue and missing them so much. He calls me often and talks about mom and Jeannette. We all know they are rejoicing in Heaven and that is good. I miss my Nettle Poodle.
