She bought her nephew, Christian Skyy his first Firefighter raincoat. She loved him and would always buy him toys, etc. every time she came to Fresno. Christian is now 5 years old. Two years have gone by since his auntie died. I always tell him stories about his auntie. One day last month while he was spending the night with me he asked me to tell him a story. I began to tell him the story about the Three Little Pigs. He said, No, not that one." I asked him what story and he said, "The one about Auntie." Then he ran to the living room of my house and brought back Jeannette's picture to my bed. He said, "Gama, can I tell you something?" I said, "Yes." He said," I hope auntie brings me another new coat." It made me sad to have to tell him the truth. He is so young and so smart. I thought he could handle the truth. I told him auntie was in Heaven. He started crying and asking me how was she going to bring the coat from Heaven. I told him I would do it for her. After he went to sleep I cried some more just missing my Jeannette. She certainly was a very good loving auntie to Christian.
