SHE LOST ALL HER HAIR, EYELASHES, EYEBROWS BUT SHE WAS STILL SO BEAUTIFUL.

She lost all her hair so she bought a wig.  She lost her eyelashes so she bought some fake ones.  She lost her eyebrows so she painted them on. 
Jeannette fought a hard battle with breast cancer.  She never gave up hope and was determined to make not only her struggles with her appearance better but also that her children would not be frightened at what she really looked like.  I remember helping paint her eyebrows and even in the last days of her life, I painted on some pink lipstick on her lips. As tears flowed from my eyes then and as they are right now, I did everything to help my precious daughter.  She fought for our nation while in the Air Force and she fought for her life with breast cancer.  Fighting with all her might.  Never ever feeling sorry for herself.  She felt sorry for her children.  That they would grow up without a mother to be there for them.  To guide them, to show them, to love them unconditionally.  She cried in pain but shed more tears at the thought of leaving her daughter, Loreal, and sons, Mathew, Shane and Conner.  I pray they will know in time what a wonderful awesome mother they had.
