Please let me express our sympathy on Jeannie's passing.
We had not seen the "Traskwood" girl in a number of years, but she and Bob were two of the friendliest people you could meet.

I will miss the twinkle in her eyes, the little grin on her lips when she was talking about her family and always wanting to let you know she loved us. I will miss hearing her say I love you darlin. My heart goes out to my cousins and all of our clan. We have lost the last of our matriarchs of our parents' generation, but I know with all my heart the Gatlin's are tearing it up at the reunion in heaven. They are all together again. Aunt Jeannie, I love you, I miss you, but I rest in the comfort that when Jesus calls me home, we will see each other again.
