  3. May the Love of Christ Jesus surround each of you as you journey through this difficult time. All of us who read your blog have been touched in some way by Jeanette's sweet, caring, giving, loving spirit. I pray that each of you take comfort in knowing how much she touched all of us...we were all blessed to have known her...may you take comfort in knowing that "God works all things for good for those who trust in him."
    Pastor Moll, we loved Jeanette, and we love you very much....

  6. "Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee." As the hymn says, we have tears, but they aren't bitter. Praise to our changeless God.

  12. Amy, Bill, Don, Shari, Deb, and all Jeanette’s family,
    All over the country people are sharing your great loss. As I told Amy and Jeanette last week, I am one of the many people who Jeanette blessed without even knowing it, as her lovingly-made crafts and Amy’s stories about her family enriched our lives. People have been quoting certain hymns, and the one that came to mind immediately for me was Blest Be the Tie that Binds, as the words appropriately describe how Jeanette’s life journey tied so many people together in shared joy and now shared loss. –In sympathy, Pat P., Boise

    Blest be the tie that binds
    Our hearts in Christian love;
    The fellowship of kindred minds
    Is like to that above.

    Before our Father’s throne
    We pour our ardent prayers;
    Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one
    Our comforts and our cares.

    We share each other’s woes,
    Our mutual burdens bear;
    And often for each other flows
    The sympathizing tear.

    When we asunder part,
    It gives us inward pain;
    But we shall still be joined in heart,
    And hope to meet again.

  13. Dearest Uncle Don, Deb, Shari, and Amy (plus all of your families),

    Our hearts are so broken right now! Don and Jeanette, when we saw you in mid-August and sat at our breakfast table enjoying our lovely meal and grand discussion and conversation. Never did we think that such tragedy could happen this abruptly! We could never have anticipated that our good-bye at that moment was going to be a final good-bye! This only shows you how precious life truly is, and we can cherish that last good-bye in our hearts forever! You just never know when you will have the opportunity to reach out to someone and give them a warm hug and then be able to embrace it for the rest of your lifetime--something that we will certainly do!

    Thank you Jeanette for giving us so many warm memories, special cards, and words of encouragement. Thank you for your sweet, sweet smile, your gift of persistence, and for keeping us close when we were so far away. Thank you for being a friend, mentor and such a lovely role model. No one can ever match you! More than anything... Thanks for being there! You will be sorely missed!

    All of our love to your family/families!

  14. Amy & family,
    My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. I never met Jeanette but feel that I came to know her in a small way through this wonderful blog. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the kind of person Amy is and it is obvious in this case that the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

    I'm sure it was incredibly difficult to learn of Jeanette's illness and have so little time to say goodbye. I am inspired by the way you all handled this with strength, faith, love, and courage. Especially Jeanette. I have one of her quilted Christmas wall-hangings that I have enjoyed for its beauty but will now cherish it as a reminder of the beautiful life of the woman who made it. She obviously was someone who layed up for herself "treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal." She leaves behind a legacy of compassion and service that is an example to even those of us who didn't personally know her.

    One of my favorite quotes is from Abe Lincoln: "Live a good life and in the end, it's not the years in a life, it's the life in the years." I pray you will all find comfort at this time as you reflect upon the life in Jeanette's years.

    With warmest regards,
    Kristi Hansen, Boise
