Auntie, it has been almost a year since you have passed and I miss you more each day. It is hard some days to even think about not being able to call you. There have been many times this past year to tell you something funny the kids have done. You will forever be in my heart. I love you

Jaynie...I sit here the day of your Memorial and can hardly believe you are not here with us. I miss you so much and can't wait to see you again in heaven! I am praying for your kids and family to find comfort in your suffering ending and peace at last. I miss you my sweet and love you more than anything!

Jaynie was an Angel on earth as she now is in Heaven. I didn't know Jaynie for very long but I will never forget her. She was one in a million, so sweet and loving and kind. I do miss you and look forward to the day I will see you again.

I miss you so and will always love you. You have given me so many gifts of life (mostly friendship) that will be with me forever. You touched my heart and life like no one has done before. Until we see each other again (just a blink in time like we discussed) you will be with me. Love you angel girl and miss you so. xxoo

I miss you so much already Jaynie. Since spending so much time with you and "trying" to make you comfortable during your journey--you've molded me to look at life differently. I'm a better person to those around me and to myself. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you or feel your presence. It’ll be hard to adjust not visiting you… but I’m very fortunate to have so many good memories of you and many good nights out. I also thank you for the open arms you showed me 15 years ago when I met you. You wouldn’t believe the impact you have on so many as well as myself—but I’m sure you can see that from above. Have fun and kick butt on the other side. xoxoxoxo

I miss you Jaynie Girl!! I cant believe I'm writing on your Guest Book on here. This just doesn't seem real...or right!! My heart breaks for your sister and family, and all the wonderful friends you called family. I love you to pieces and I will always remember the lessons you taught me. Bet you didnt know you were my teacher. One of the biggest ones in my life. I am forever changed. Thank you for showing me what you were made of. The AMAZING woman you are. Thank you for Sheila and the girls too. They are just as amazing as you are. I will not say good-bye, because that sounds so final. I will say, see you again my friend. When I am called up, can you come meet me at the gates and take me for a ride on the back of your motorcycle and show me around. We can go grab some sushi and visit Elvis!! I love you honeygirl!!! xoxoxo

Jaynie was so loved, such an inspiration, so courageous, so talented, so loving, so amazing. Her friends that she refers to as her angels all think the same way about her, the Sparkle girl. Jaynie raised the energy in any room she entered and was a dynamic, strong person. She will live in our hearts. We will never forget her voice. She taught us so much. Our love, tears, and support to all her family.

I am so saddened by Jaynie's passing because I will miss her dearly as I am sure everyone who knew her will too. May her family and friends find comfort and peace that Jaynie is with God surrounded by his love.
