Jeaneth Obregon was born in Burbank in 1984, to her parents Jeaneth and Ariel. She was quickly nicknamed Janecita by her family. She was raised with two siblings: Mariel and Frank. She was very close with her sister and brother and she had a special relationship with her mother. In fact, she was mommy's girl and her mom was her best friend. A natural entertainer, she was a happy child who loved to sing and dance. She grew up loving music and she'd sing along to every song. She loved to make videos of herself singing and dancing and she made videos with her sister and cousins. She was always the choreographer and showed talent at taking photos. She loved makeup and dressing up, always taking care of herself. She'd say to her mom or sister, "Comb your hair, for the love of God." It was funny, but she thought everyone should take care of themselves all the time and look their best. She believed in putting your best foot forward and showing yourself in the best light. She was a good student in school and earned her high school diploma at Herbert Hoover High School in Glendale. It was through home schooling where she met her future husband, Brian Moore. They liked spending time together as they were very similar and shared the same interests. They went to the park, the mall and her mom's house to spend more time with each other. There were fun trips with Brian and their friends to Santa Monica Beach and Pyramid Lake near Six Flags. Janecita was always the life of the party. She was so special as she made everyone laugh and enjoy life. She had an amazing gift and Brian saw that he had found someone who was one-of-a-kind with an uplifting spirit. When Janecita found out she was pregnant with their first child, it was both scary and exciting. The young couple lived with her mom in Baldwin Park for a while. Even when the couple moved into their own apartment, she always liked living near her mom for both support and advice. The couple welcomed their daughter, Juliana Nicole Moore, into their lives on May 19, 2005. Brian was in the delivery room to watch the birth of his first child. They loved being parents and took Julie to the zoo and the movies for fun. It was important that she be home as a mom, and it was their decision that Brian would work full-time so she could be home. She loved being a mother to her little princess, Julie. They both saw parenting as a great responsibility and a complete joy. The couple moved several times into different apartments, but she liked living near her mom's home. Her mother even bought her a bicycle so she could ride over to her house to get baby advice. They had a wonderful relationship of mother and daughter. Janecita had a wonderful relationship with her daughter as well and shared every smile life had to offer. She even bought a pet hamster for Julie and they named her Cinderella. Seven months ago in December 2008, the couple experienced more happiness with the birth of their son, Jordan Brian Moore. Brian was in the delivery room for the birth of his son as well. The kids were always the priority in their lives and she was so happy to be a mother again. She spent time with her children reading books, singing songs, and watching movies with them. Julie especially loved Disney songs, Ariel, Cinderella, and The Sound of Music, and they sang songs together. She played patty cake with them and when her grandmother did it differently, Julie corrected her to do it her mom's way saying, "It goes like this, Grandma." It was so cute. Throughout every chapter of her life in being a daughter, a wife and mother, her four best friends since middle school all had children of their own and she remained close with them over the years. Griselda, Janet, Annelle, and Margarita were all wonderful friends. Janecita had many favorites in life. Her favorite colors were baby pink and baby blue. Her favorite song was "If This World Were Mine" by Marvin Gaye. She loved to play that song and she wanted to give her children the world. She loved parties, birthdays and holidays spent with her family. Her favorite food was Chavindecas, which is the most amazing stuffed tortilla made with a friend's secret family recipe. Her favorite beverage was Cherry Coke. She was a beautician who loved doing hair, makeup, manicures and pedicures. She liked to wear makeup and made her hair look different to fit the day. She loved to be barefoot and she'd throw off her shoes the second she walked into the house. When she visited her aunt's home with all of the friendly dogs and the hammock. With a smile she called it Macaland. She enjoyed technology and on her My Space page her mood was always listed as Optimistic. She was an optimist who always wanted her family and friends to be happy. She always saw the bright side of life, no matter what. The last seven months of her life were filled with her greatest joys with her children and her greatest challenges in facing Leukemia. But, she was raised Catholic and became a Christian with her husband. She believed in God and Heaven and prayed for strength. She comforted her family throughout her life's journey and always told them, "It's going to be okay." She, her husband and her family prayed a lot together in the hospital. She had a strong will and she was a fighter until the end because she wanted to live for her children. Janecita kept everyone strong. When the time came, her sister, Mariel, helped her cut off her beautiful ponytail. She was so smart and she was strong for her children. She spent a month in the hospital and then was released for a week at a time for special events and holidays. The last week long stay with her family was spent enjoying a shared birthday celebration for her and her daughter in May 2009. It was a wonderful party and she didn't want to go back to the hospital, but she did, so she could get better and come home for good. Her family visited her in the hospital constantly and she was positive every time. She wanted to hear the latest news from her mother, sister, aunts and cousins. A few days before she passed away, she told her family, "If you're going to come, I don't want to see you crying." She didn't want pity. Instead, she wanted people to be happy, real and enjoy the smaller moments because she found her own happiness. She told her sister and her mother, "Always keep my kids together." They promised to follow her wishes. She also told her sister, "I'm at peace if I die. I just don't want Julie to suffer." She made peace with God and read the Bible and listened to Christian music. Her sister, Mariel, sang songs to her by her bedside and her family gave her an audio book of Twilight so she could hear it. Her purpose in life was to be a daughter, wife and mother. While she was in the hospital, she said, "I miss my princess and my baby." She wanted to be able to watch over them so very much. The last time she spoke was on Father's Day. She told her father, "Happy Father's Day." Her father said it was his greatest gift. She told her sister that day, "I love you little sister." Mariel said, "I love you, too." In the end, she was surrounded by her family as she passed away. Her family believes she is at peace as she watches over them as a guardian angel. The entire family will miss everything about her, especially her presence. Her husband misses his love, but he wears a smile whenever he thinks of her because she made everyone happy in life. Her sister feels her presence, knowing she will be a part of their lives every moment of every day and forever. Her mother misses her sweet daughter so very much. Her aunts have so much love for her, because she was a gift to everyone. She will be remembered as super-funny because she loved to be an entertainer. Janecita will be remembered as a very popular girl, with tons of friends who was loved by her cousins. She was the neutral ground that brought everyone together to smile in life. Her advice to her family and friends would be to live your life, but don't cry and don't feel bad. Instead, be strong because you are her eyes, her hands, and her ears. Her greatest hope was for her children to stay together and for their happiness throughout their lives. Janecita is loved and remembered by her husband Brian; daughter Juliana Nicole; son Jordan Brian; mother Jeaneth; father Ariel; grandparents; aunts; uncles; cousins; a loving extended family of relatives and many friends. |
