I am blessed with an amazing family.  It is so comforting to be here with my sisters.  I am convinced that Jeanie finished her work here on earth. There was nothing left for her to do.  She was pure love.  She was perfect.  Her memorial service and funeral were beautiful.  Her ashes were buried in a grassy field/cemetery next to some oak trees in Rensselaer, Indiana.  I could not think of a more peaceful place to visit to contemplate the life of the sweetest, kindest, and most courageous woman I have ever known.  How lucky I was to have had Jeanie in my life.

And on a very happy note, here are pictures of Toni celebrating life!  She is now cancer free and loving every second of life:
