Condolences!!! -- David Wright,

Mrs Tyson. You and your family are in my prayers . Angela Lyons and Martha Jean Mercer

Words can not express how broken we feel by the passing of our dear friend sister Jeannette. I guess because we were not expecting her to leave us so soon. But together we will get through this. To her husband Leon , thank you for your friendship. Rest In Peace Jeannette ,we love you but God love you best, Good night Jeannette Green Tyson. Please tell James Tyson Hello,

We were so saddened to hear about JT. We loved when she came to yoga because she brought so much joy and life into our hot room. Her hair, nails, lashes, jewelry, yoga outfits, her personality! She was truly one of a kind and a light when out when she passed. There will never be another Jeannette. After class, when she was walking down the stairs you could always hear her say "Enjoy your Life" and she sure did. We all loved her and will miss her terribly.

It is with sadness that I extend condolences to Mrs. Melba Tyson and all those who loved my friend for 33 years Jeannette Tyson-Greene. The memories are many and the time was too short for this rare lover of life and child of God. She is now with Jesus until we meet again. Rest In Peace from this world but I know you are having a ball on the next plane. Chandra Anderson and Family.

Sorry for our lost. Love and Prayers are with our Family. Powell and Dempsey Families

Another "Angel" got her WINGS.

Family, God looked down on Jeanette's tired, worn body, so tired from holding on... From a life that was overwhelming her, he wanted his daughter home. So he finally took her breath away... And gave her what was best. A home to be at peace and rest, in her final resting place. Rest now cousin, til we meet again. Linda, Rhonda & the boys.

Jeanette, Your presence of beauty inside and out was awesome and was rare! We love you but God love you more! Sleep on cousin and take your rest! Gwen "Faye Brown" Graham, Ray, & Londa Brown (Late Easter Mae Brown Children)
