She was a bright and effervescent youngster destined for a fairytale life. After all, she was a princess to many. But in a horrible twist of fate, Jeannette, at the age of 36 was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her fairytale would end abruptly--- but not before she had a chance to leave an indelible mark on those whose lives she touched.
Jeannette believed in everybody, and she always believed she could change your life. I have always said that everyone who met her was changed by her.
Jeannette grew up without her father by her side even though he lived in same town. She had me and her brother and her sister for support. She lived in a home full of love for the princess. In middle school, she was always winning, not just awards, but admiration of her teachers for her determination and positive spirit.
There was something about her smile, when she'd look at you with those big brown beautiful eyes-she had that smile that just warmed your heart.
She was just such a warm, loving, caring and giving young woman. I think that is why she chose to serve our country. I am so proud of my mija.
Missing her more each day.
