Tributes

Jenny, what can we say: 57 years ago you did us the honor of being our bridesmaid. Before that you were my flatmate. You always wanted to be a mum and what a great mum you were to your 4 boys. They did you proud today Jen, along with your beautiful grandchildren. Thank you Jenny for the light you bought into our lives. Your work here is done. Till we meet again rest easy in the arms of your maker

For as long as I can remember Jeanette has been there with a smile her kindness and gentle soul like a second Mum to me. Growing up in Torbay with my best mate, I had the privilege to learn from her what compassion, empathy and strength really was. She had it tough, surrounded by so many boys! The sport, constant competitiveness, 90s music and boundless energy was a lot to handle! JJ brought the kindness, the gentle presence and huge amounts of love for everyone to the table. Always smiling, always there for Blair and Kent as their biggest supporter over the years, guiding them and helping them when they tripped and fell. Her legacy lives on in the love she gave and the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Rest in peace JJ
