Memories & Condolences

I thank everyone for their condolences it means a great deal to us all. I know a lot of her family and friends have passed so I did not expect there would be too many. Mom and dad had a lot of friends from moving, church, work, etc. We always had someone to stay with when we traveled. But yes most passed away. I am grateful my parents have lived as long as they have. I loved my mother deeply we were very close. She taught me to sew and how to cook. She brought us up to believe in God and made sure we went to Church of Christ every Sunday. She signed us up for scouts, camp and music lessons. Even bought me a clarinet I could not play I would blow but not a sound and she had to get rid of it and then bought a piano I only took lessons for a short time. Needless to say I was not musically inclined. What I remember is she was always making sure all her family had what they needed or wanted and did so unselfishly (even if it meant going to work or doing without herself). I remember taking a bus then trollie to downtown New Orleans and getting a soda at a drug store. Just her and I together made me feel special when I was a young girl. I even remember her and the flash cards in my room at that corner desk and me crying. I remember as far back as a little girl and her finding me sitting on a milk box outside the front door my 1st day of grade school and her having to take me to school. I remember the Christmas we got Barbie dolls and she and dad had them all dressed up on their stands. Only due to seeing the film I have memories of waking up with Marcia at Christmas with two cute baby dolls in high chairs under this tree full of tinsel and bright lights. I remember all the trips to visit her family in Monroe, LA. All those family picnics and family get togethers.
They so loved to see mom again and you could tell missed her alot. I remember when they would visit us because they longed to see mom. I know she missed them a great deal too. She had a lot of brothers and sisters. She loved to go fishing with dad. They took a lot of fishing trips together. She loved the holidays, shopping and finding a good sale and even garage sales. She was a good cook, great at math, a great seamstress, good at any job she took on...she had a great work ethic, she was really good with gardening and loved all plants. I remember her bringing me aloe vera plants, lillies and a shrimp plant and helping me pull weeds out of lawn of our 1st house. I even remember her running out of a cotton field I believe in Monroe LA when she saw man coming and we were in car just because she wanted cotton balls. I remember her picking wild berries. I remember walking in the woods with her at our camp when she pointed out all the plants like sassafras I think it was. I remember our family trips but one that was funny...we were all in car in Texas and window was rolled down and she got out to ask this man for directions to Zapata and it sounded like she was asking where the potty was because she asked, "where is zapatie." It was hilarious. I remember being sick and her always taking care of me then getting the Clorox out. I remember on one trip her finding a wallet with a lot of money in it and turned it in. Yeh, she loved holidays. I remember all the Easters she and dad hiding eggs on fence and swing set and the huge baskets with candy. The decorations every holiday. She did not have a lot but she made sure to make it festive in our home and decorated and cooked. I can still smell the ribbon and other hard candies she put out around the house at Christmas. They were always stuck together. I absolutely loved the divinity, fudge, sausage balls and those date balls (she taught me to make and were so sticky and hot), stuffed celery with pineapple cream cheese, etc. And her and dad shelling nuts for cooking and eating a lot of them. Also, the Mexican food, seafood and casseroles...she was a very good cook. She gave me some of her cookbooks and handwritten recipes which to me are worth more than all her jewelry put together. There are so many memories I cannot type them all here. When I got married and moved away to NC I spoke to her every weekend about recipes, gardening, sewing and she always kept me posted on what was going on with everyone. She had not too long ago come up to NC to see me when I first got diagnosed with breast cancer. I am now stage 4 and I am glad she did not know that. Anyway, it was the last time I saw her because I am 60 years old and have had trouble with traveling in heavy traffic or over bridges. I also have poor night vision. I haven't even been able to go to Duke here in NC to see if they have any trials if Ibrance drug I am now on does not work. I so wish I was not like this. When she fell then was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia ofcourse I was devastated. I immediately looked online to see if I could find anything that could help her. But I didn't find a thing. But read it was a really bad disease worse than dementia alone. I just prayed she would survive a lot longer. That was Oct 2016 so that horrible disease progressed quickly and we already noticed early signs of dementia. We are a small family so this is extremely hard on all of us. So reading the nice words do help. I always talked to her and will continue to do so daily. I am not sure she can here me but I am not taking a chance. I loved my mother deeply and miss her so much. I look forward to the day I see her again.

As a child I loved the occasions I got to visit with Aunt Jeanette. She was always truly delightful. I pray for peace for each of you at this sad time. Love you all.

~ Chelsey Harvey - November 29, 2018

I remember how she always welcomed all friends of her children at any time. All were welcome. She had a wonderful sense of humor and always treated me as an adult-even when I didn’t act like one. She was always smiling and quick to laugh. I will miss her very much. Love and prayers to her family. We were all blessed to have Jeanette in our lives.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Weller family. Although I did not know Bobbie personally, I know how painful it is to lose someone loved. I hope you may find a measure of peace and comfort in the beautiful resurrection hope found at John 5:28,29.

It's been a long time, but she was a sweet woman and gracious host when I was at the family home in Pensacola in college. May her memory be a blessing.

~ Steven Kerstein - November 29, 2018

My heartfelt condolences for your loss. May the God of all comfort and tender mercies help you and your family to cope during this difficult time. God’s word has a beautiful future ahead not only for us but for those whom we lost in death. This promise is found in Acts 24:15.
