Your first Christmas and New Year's in Heaven............how glorius that must be! We miss you here, Jeanne, but know we will be together again as God's plans come to fruition. Say hello to our classmates who are there with you, and give special hugs to our parents, siblings, and children who also left us before we were ready for them to go. And Jeanne, don't keep telling God how to run things.....He's had more practice than you, and will do just fine. :)
Love you, Girlie...........Tena
