Dear Family:
As you know I feel your loss and I can't figure the words to express how I really feel. Jeannine was a friend, a sister, and she was my confidante. I could go to her with everything and she gave good advice and kept my secrets.
I am very hurt at this time, I wish I could have spent just a little more time with her, and had another girls night like we use to. It is hard to realize that we all have to go, but I just was not ready for her to go. We often talked about death, and we always said little things about it but we looked at like it was in the long distance. If I had known that this was going to happen like this I would have spent more time with her. I do love her and I will miss her very much.
If there is anyway I can help you during your grief, please let me know, I will try to be there for you, as I know she would want me too.
Sincerely
Uncle Carol
