Tracie Bellerose
I will miss my Auntie more than words can describe. Her contagious cackle of a laugh, her sense of humor, her inability to EVER arrive on time and most of all her love are all memories I will cherish for my lifetime. I know I will see her again someday. Blessings to all my aunts, uncles, and cousins… <3 Tracie

Wings Of The Angels
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out Jeanne’s name.
Left behind, the Family’s tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God Jeanne is sent.
On angel’s wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God’s love, ’tis but the dawn.
