14 years ago today my beautiful baby sister passed away. [View all]

[GentryDixon]

Jeannie was a brittle diabetic from a very early age. She had a kidney transplant that lasted 12 years and lost a leg to sepsis from a burn to her foot. Because of her neuropathy she could not feel her foot burning when using a riding lawn mower. The foot never did heal and eventually ended in her amputation. But through it all, she kept up her spirits, While I would cry in frustration to see her suffering, she would always tell me there were others who were worse off then she. I ever believed that, but she did.

She fought a good fight, but finally passed away at the age of 45 from kidney failure. Your daughter Stacie, Vickie & Jennifer miss you terribly. RIP my darling angel.
