Condolences
Titi,
Being the only girl in the group, I remember you always telling me “I got my girl”—you’d try to always do my hair, I’d spend nights at your house “watching” the boys, and you and titi would always encourage me to get out there and play with the boys. Having those childhood memories, along with the example/encouragement that I got from such a strong woman in my life truly set the tone on how I’d live my life. I’ll always love bigger, take on challenges with bravery and determination, and never be afraid to speak my mind. I’d like to think I’ll carry a piece of you wherever I go.
On Monday I was surrounded by at least 10 butterflies when at the park with Austin—and for some reason I felt that it was you around me. Our bond will forever be cherished—I wish we had more time. With that said, you are still teaching us the most valuable lesson—time here on the earth side should not be taken for granted. Family and love is the most important thing to live for. Until we meet again titi. I love you forever
I remember one of the first times I met Jeanette. I was maybe 10 years old (1974) and at Eliza’s apartment in Brooklyn. She walked in the door wearing a bright orange outfit and matching hat- and was so beautiful and vibrant I wanted to be just like her!
I’m 60 years old and still remember this vividly.
Jeannette and all of her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

This all seems so unreal. I cannot believe that the hug I gave you last month was my last hug to you. You were truly more than a cousin to me. I will miss you tremendously. I will miss your laughter, your kindness, your thoughtfulness, your advice…but especially your hugs…. You were an angel here on earth, and now an angel in heaven. Loved you dearly. Your cousin Anabel
I write this message with a heavy heart and my sincerest condolences to Jeannette’s beloved family. My memory of Jeanette is one of compassion, humor, and unconditional love for her family. My family and I had the pleasure of sharing one of her many trips to the Caribbean, during which time she worried
endlessly about Mike, Michael and Matthew. As I fondly observed her enjoying her own time with her sister and nephews Daniel and Andrew. They called her Titi. Jeanette loved dogs and often babysat for our Lily while my sister and I traveled. My heart is broken for Denise and everyone who loved Jeanette. May Jeanette rest peacefully in the arms of the angels.
Love, Anne Gardner
My dearest cousin Jeanette
You’re truly be missed by many! May you rest in eternal paradise with our Lord. There are so many childhood memories going through my mind. The Lord needed an Angel when he called you home. You shall forever be in our hearts.
Love always
Jose Rodriguez & fam.
Dear Jeanette, you will be missed at least you will have no more pain. You’re in a good place. May God embrace you and hold you till we meet again love you. Cousin Eliza
Titi, words cannot describe what you've meant to me and the family. All of my most cherished childhood memories include you. Your laughter, hugs, kisses, and the way you brought joy to us all will forever be missed. I know you're looking down on us all now, and I find comfort in that, but I'd give anything for just one more day with my Titi. We all love and miss you so much. We'll all be together again in heaven.
To my dear sister, Jeanette, your journey here might be over but your love remains eternally. You are my rock and always will be. My heart is broken and will always remain with you. God bless you with open arms, you are now free of all pain and suffering. Love you always my baby sister, your brother, Ted
