Message from BL Qualls

To the family and friends,
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one.
We live on a beautiful earth. How long does God want humans to live on the earth?
He told Adam if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad he would surely die (Genesis 2:17). So if they hadn't eaten from that tree they would not have grown old and died. We all came from Adam and Eve, so we have inherited imperfection and death (Acts 17:26). Romans 5:12 says: "That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned." Even though Adam and Eve disobeyed God, God has not changed his purpose for the earth and humans living forever on it. After God cleans the earth off of all wicked people, then he will make it possible for humans to live forever on the earth. Please read Psalm 37:9-11 and 29. Through God's kingdom government with Jesus as the king, God's will will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
Then our dead loved ones will come back to life (Acts 24:15)!

I can’t believe you are gone a week already. I still can’t believe you are in Heaven now. How did 7 days pass in the blink of an eye. I love you so much and I miss you terribly. I don’t know how my life will be without you. But it won’t be as much fun, that’s for sure. I love you Scotty. Love always your Weezer.

Message from Ryan Young & The Angelillo/Pond family

My family and I would like to send our deepest condolences to Jeanette’s family. I have known Jeanette for a little over 2 years and she always had the drive and willpower to do what she needed to do with complete optimism and the wit to keep a positive attitude when ever life threw a tough crossroad at her. She had been fighting this battle for a year when we first met but you would never know how much she was going through because she was too busy smiling and looking to have fun with her friends and family. We will miss you Jeanette, I know you are looking out for us, and may the clouds in heaven only rain with the color purple.

Message from Irene and Vito Lombardo

Please accept our sincere condolences for someone that we have known since childhood.. It is so sad that someone so young who put up such a hard fight has left us. Our condolences once again to the family and we share your grief.

Sincerely
Irene and Vito Lombardo

Message from Jean Biedron

My heart breaks for my sister, Jeanette, Sr., Sue and Terri and especially Amanda and Max. Jay fought so hard and we were all so optimistic that all would end well.

What I will miss most is Jay''s sense of humor and her kind heart. She loved her children and they were her world. May God take you all in his loving arms and hold you close. Rest in Peace Jay.
Love Aunt Jeanie

Message from Pete-her brother-in-law

I have known Jeanette for nearly twenty years, ever since I met and married her sister Terri. She was one of the most free-spirited, unique, and optimistic people I ever knew. She did not have an easy life, but you would never know it, since she never complained about what she did not have. Instead, she made the most of what she did have and found a kind of joy in life that many never get to experience. I think that two qualities she possessed made that possible. First, she never worried about how others viewed her, she lived her life on her terms and never sought the approval of anyone other than herself. That, to me, was a sign of her inner strength. Too many people waste their time trying to earn the approval of others to validate themselves. Jeannette never needed that, she lived her life the way she chose, not the way others wanted her to. The other aspect of Jeanette that made her special was her ability to live in the moment. Too many of us waste our short time on this Earth worrying about what we don't have and what what mistakes we have made. Jeanette knew that the past was over and the future never really arrives, all we have is the now. That is why I think she was able to handle the disease that plagued her for the last three years with such an upbeat attitude, many would have descended into depression and she did not. These are the lessons she left us, enjoy what you have right now and take a moment to smell the roses, because life is too precious to waste our time worrying about what happened before, or what is coming tomorrow. Her life was too short, but she lived every moment she had to the fullest, getting more out of her time than many do who live longer, but without the appreciation for it that she had. I hope she is at peace now, her ability to handle the last few years has earned her that. May God bless you sister.

Jeanette,

You were more than just my aunt, you were like my second mom, my very best friend. I can't believe you're gone. It still feels like you're just a phone call or a ride away. I miss all of our adventures from going to our favorite spot at the beach, doing crafts, getting Chinese food and sitting at the water front, watching movies and laughing until our stomachs were sore, getting pancakes at midnight, skipping rocks, and driving with the windows down to feel the summer breeze in our hair. After we came home from the hospital, I was so devastated and heartbroken, and the only thing that made me feel better was videos we took together and the journal you wrote me full of such beautiful sentiments and wishes. You were such a fighter over these last 3 years and never once acted sick. You're one of the strongest people I have had the privilege of knowing and being inspired by. You have changed my life and you will always live on in my heart. We talked about our bucket lists and I know you were sad you didn't get to do all the things you wanted, but you will get to do them by my side and as I told you in that hospital, I'll take you with me anywhere, and I hope you heard that. You are now free to fly wherever your wings will carry you. This is not the end, I'll see you soon.

Your lovey bug,
Jenny ❤️

Message from Ann Marie Kenavan- Best

To Jeanette's family,
I am so sad for the loss of Jeanette. We went to St.Ann's together and she was always so sweet. We lost touch over the years and then thanks to Facebook we met back up again. I knew she was very sick but I was hopeful that she would get the transplant and have a great life without sickness. I am so sorry that was not the outcome. I didn't get to say goodbye. I am sorry I cannot attend her wake due to a previous commitment, but please know I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Rest easy Jeanette.

Jay, I can’t believe that this is how our journey ends. This is not how it was supposed to go. I will never understand why this happened. Why you had to fall into that 5% of unsuccessful transplants.
I love you more than you could ever know and I’m grateful for the last three years we had together as best friends and sisters. I just can’t wrap my head around this. I just can’t.
Love, Suzi

Message from Amanda Trumbauer

My Mommy,
I'll never forget the times I shared with you. I love you forever. I thank you for raising me to be a strong leader. You taught me to stay true to myself and think for myself. I'll cherish every moment I had with you. I thank you for being on my side throughout the difficult times. I will always remember how brave you are and how you never gave up. You got through the hardest of struggles. It was an honor to have you be My Mommy. Max and I are so lucky to have you. I know you'll be with us always and there will never be a day that I don't think of you. You are one of a kind. I'll miss our nights of noodles and watching tv together. Our late night drives and our crazy adventures. You are the coolest mom. We had the hardest laughs and the ugliest cries. Ill cherish this time we had. You're in my soul forever. We'll be together forever. I love you to the moon and back Mommy. Thank you for being my mom

Jeanette - Besides Mom and Dad, you were the first person I knew in this world, my very first friend, my sister. We played, laughed, cried, fought, and made up our whole lives. We raised our kids together, grew up together...I don't have any memories without you in it somewhere. You were a wild child and I was more quiet...but you taught me to be brave, to fly instead of always playing it safe on the ground. I did wild things because I was chasing you...and I never felt more alive than in those moments. Thank you so much for making me laugh so much, for helping me learn not to take things so seriously...you awakened my funny side, my nutty and weird side...and I owe you my soul for that. I always loved you and I always will...forever...always always...I hope that I made your life a happy one in return. This world was hard on you but it never beat you...even now. You always had a joke, a smile, a foul mouth and a pure heart. You weren't perfect, none of us are, but you were damn close. I know I'll see you again...someday. This life is a little blip on the radar in the world you're in now. So, to you, it may seem like only a few minutes that you're waiting for me...like always cause I'm always late anyway. I miss you...and the kids will miss you too. You were so good to them, they adore you. We have so many great stories and memories of you...we won't let your memory die. You will always be alive here with us. Goodbye for now, Winger. I know you wouldn't want us to be sad. "Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that's how I'll remember you. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all." I know you loved that quote. Wait for me Jeanette, at the beach...I'll be there. We all will be together there soon...someday.

So sorry for your loss. I was friends with Jeanette when we were kids, just around 14 or 15 years old. Somehow we just lost contact and I haven't spoken to her since then. She was a beautiful person. I remember her dad seemed to like me and he would always talk to me when I came to visit her. He was also such a great person. I wish I had kept in contact with her. To hear about this makes me very sad. Just reading her facebook page I can see she remained to be a very beautiful person. Her kids look so much like her, I'm sure they are heartbroken, as many of you are. Again, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Mrs. Trumbauer.

Message from Hazlet NJ

I want to extend my condolences to Jeanette's family. I only knew her for a short time but she was one of my very special fans. Always a smile and great attitude even through her terrible suffering. She brightened everyone's day around her. She loved music and was so happy during shows. Her smiling face and loving heart and kindness will always remain now as a fond memory of a really beautiful person. God Bless Jeanette........You will be missed... but you will Always be in our hearts!
