Jet was a full-time mommy and loved her babies above all else. She would do anything to protect her babies, her brothers or anyone she seen as family. She was a one of kind woman. She would hate and love you at the same time, she would fight with you and then give you hugs. Jet loved her many animals but she mostly has black cats which were her favorite. Jet had one special friend, Leticia Cruz “Beaver” , and one cousin she was very close to, Tamera Kalonaheskie.
