Today I am remembering my dear friend Janeen. She was a devoted mother to her son Ty, a loyal friend, a fierce dog Mom, an excellent cake baker and decorator, and had one of the most amazing hearts of anyone I've ever met.
Sadly, she passed away just under a year ago. Even though she had such a wonderful heart, her own gave her troubles. I'm reminded of her today because she always had a time with people setting off fireworks all night long and it scared her dog Brently and she would often be up all night and making comments on Facebook. We had a running joke of tagging each other in chain mail like posts about luck.
Janeen was one of the most devoted friends I have ever met. After another of my dear friends passed, she worked tirelessly and vorciferously to put together a fundraiser for a project that was near and dear to his heart.
My friend Kevin was a very passionate and generous chef and I had the honor of working alongside him for twelve years. His desire was to start a teen cooking class to engage and inform young adults if they showed an interest his profession. He was well on his way with the planning stages before his passing, but this story is about Janeen so I will come back to you with Kevin's story in another post.
Janeen was a true blessing and through her and a couple others networking and calling on our awesome community and nearby friends and businesses, Teen Cuisine was born. The first fundraiser was held a mere two months after Kevin's passing and with Janeen's phenomenal efforts and the support of our local family and friends we managed to raise over $13,000 to kick start this amazing project. I'll save the details of the fundraiser for another post about Kevin because that larger than life character deserves his own definitely.
Today I send out a toast and good vibes to my friend Janeen. I hope you're looking down on us and smiling and I hope Brently is happy with his new family and the fireworks aren't bothering him this Fourth of July 🥂
Lamento la muerte de Janeen, descanse en paz, un fuerte y cariñoso abrazo

This is such a beautiful tribute! Thank you for sharing something and someone so obviously dear to you. I love the idea of Teen Cuisine as well; I owned a restaurant and besides running and taking care of the kitchen, I always seemed to be taking care of the kids who worked there as well.
Janeen sounded lovely.
Thank you. It was her birthday recently and it was a bit unnerving receiving the notification on my Facebook page and I have been hearing the fireworks the last few days and it just seemed fitting to remember her like this. It has also given me some good ideas for other things to write about so I feel like she's inspiring me even more
aww that's a nice way to think about it. I've gotten those notifications as well from someone who's passed; it is a very weird feeling indeed!
It brought back some good memories and inspiration today so it's a win win. I'm lucky to have and have had some amazing people in my life.
Thank you for sharing may she always watch over you and her loved ones. Good vibes sent to you!
Thank you. I'm always getting little signs from her and she also connected me to some good friends so she definitely expanded my life.
Nice post and a lovely tribute to your friend. Dogs do not like fireworks! @bon-nom
Thank you for commenting. It's sad that so many people don't consider the effects of the fireworks on pets and people who may suffer from PTSD just for a bit of entertainment
Nice thought
Good read
very touching post for a dear friend. I hope you are now healed from the pain of her passing. You are such an awesome friend!
Thank you. She was the type that made you feel special even in the rough times
I have very few friends that I hope will last in my life for a long time ... I do not know what I would do if today I lost one of them :(
You carry on in their honor. Live for those who aren't around any longer. Remember things that were special to them
