231. Jean Araluen AULD

When Jeannie died, she and her sister, Doris, were sitting watching TV when
jeannie looked at Doris and said: "don't you just hate......" the sentence was never
finished!! as she had a heart attack and never regained consciousness.

Jeannie would walk into a bank (any bank, any branch) and just stop, and smell the
air. When anyone asked what she was doing, her answer would be....."smell the
money; it is a beautiful perfume!"

Jeannie washed her husbands wallet one day by mistake. When she discovered it,
she hung the money on the clothes line to dry. Her husband, Bernie, was
horrorfield and thought he would be done for money laundering if anyone had seen
it!

Another time, she put Bernie's shoes in the oven to dry them out but melted them
instead!

She always had her hair done every Friday. Always!

As a young couple, Jean & Bernie ran a Mixed business, until Jean had a nervous
breakdown.
