So sorry to hear this. Prayers for the family -
We are heartbroken. Our deepest condolences. Our prayers for all who love Jeanette. May Jeanette’s memory be a blessing. -
This is upsetting. Years ago, my family and I used to frequent Favilla’s on Patton Avenue. Jeanette was always super sweet and brought smiles to faces. I am sorry for your loss. I am sorry for the loss of a good soul. -
My daughter’s first job was at Favilla’s when she was only 15. Jeanette was a great work mom to her!! She was so sweet whenever I talked with her. I am very saddened for the ENTIRE extended family for her passing. I wish you all peace and comfort during this difficult time! -
My heart goes out to Andy and his children and all of Jeanette’s family her sister and parents. She was such a caring and sweet person. I always enjoyed seeing her when I went into Favilla’s. I was so saddened when I heard the news. My prayers are with yiyr family at this time.
