U2-Where the Streets Have No Name (click to listen)
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It’s all I can do
The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled into dust
I’ll show you a place
High on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It’s all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh when I go there
I go there with you
It’s all I can do
U2- A Sort of Homecoming (click to listen)
And you know it’s time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, oh, oh
On borderland we run
I’ll be there
I’ll be there
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here
The city walls are all come down
The dust, a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill
As the valley explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh come away, oh come away, oh come away, I say I
Oh come away, come away, oh come, oh come away, I say I
Oh, oh, oh
on borderland we run
And still we run
We run and don’t look back
I’ll be there
I’ll be there
Tonight
Tonight
I’ll be there tonight, I believe
I’ll be there so high
I’ll be there tonight, tonight
Oh come away, I say, I say oh
Oh come away, I say
The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tonight we’ll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light’s in the distance
Oh don’t sorrow, no don’t weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

I know she will be greatly missed, and I hope that support from far and wide helps you, at least a little bit, during this very sad time.
Working with Jeanine these past 5 years has been wonderful. Her smile and easy personality could light up the room. I loved her enthusiasm and we spent many days discussing our mutual love of U2.

I’m heartbroken to learn of Jeanine’s passing. I have held Jeanine in the highest regard since I first met her (many years ago), and feel very fortunate to have known her. She was a very special individual and I’ll always remember her laugh – it was infectious. I want to offer condolences and prayers to her family and friends, and hope your memories of Jeanine carry each of you through this difficult time. Warm regards, Matt Reynolds
I was so very saddened to hear of your loss. With my deepest condolences.
I met Jeanine this summer at the Chicago U2 shows. She was a generous and adventurous soul and I know she will be missed by many. Godspeed.
I love you Jeanine
God is with you and you are with
Your Dad and surrounded by our good friends
Don Aldo,Dr Torres,Sra Vicenta and You get to
Meet good people like Mr Lewis and his son and many more
I thank God for the happiness you have
Given me and for making me a better person
If people would think and do what you do
Accepting and helping people for who they
Are without judging and hurting them
This would be a better world
God has a plan for all of us and I will be
Next to you one day
I have loved and I was love
I count my blessings please see me at night
Make a sign so I can see
The kitties Miss you very much
Love you
Your husband
Cesar and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jeanine was a wonderful person and I know God must have needed her or he would not have taken her. We don’t always understand why things happen but God never gives us more than we can handle. When we put our faith and trust in Him, we will never walk alone.
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all of them that believe: for there is no difference. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Romans 3:22-24
Cesar, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our condolences to you and Jeanine’s family.
Marlene, Paul, Phil, Russ and Gene

My dear wife Jeanine I love you and I miss you with all my heart
I had a home now I only have a house that is empty as well as my heart
I know your with Jesus and I know you will make him more happy as you did with me
you were my Angel, My Happiness and my strength
we laughed , cried , we stressed together but at the end we solved the problem together and had happiness and energy to go on laughing at life and enjoying our morning coffee
Now I am all alone and I love you , all I can do is writte to you hoping Jesus gives permission for you to read this
I love you and I cant wait to be with you
I don’t know how it works up there but when I see you I will be the happiest soul in all of Heaven if I am allowed to go. I love you boo with all my heart
your husband that loves you
Dear
Jesus
I write to you with your permission so you can have Jeanine read my words
I love you and I miss you with all my heart
all I have left are these words I write to you in hope that Jesus will allow you to see
it has been over 3 months and for me its like it has been 100 years , I can feel every second in my heart
and all I have is great pain that reminds me how much I love you
you were my sun and my moon , my day and my night and all my family
we married after being together for many years and it was our first and only marriage we ever wanted
I love you so much , the pain that I carry is so much that I am losing my mind
now that your not here I see how the real world is so much pain and so many bad people
the good people many times suffer at the mercy of the bad
I will try to help as many people that I can as that was our way of lives
we always helped people and kept quiet about it
that was our way
please come for me when Jesus lets me go home as my home is next to you now all I have Is a house and
a broken heart and you were all the family I needed as both of us had our families far away
we were so happy together
please don’t forget about me in the other life as I don’t know how it works up there all I know is that I ask
Jesus on my knees that he lets me be by your side for eternity and I can listen to your beautiful voice
Dear Jesus I never question your ways and I accept your decisions, now I ask you that when my time comes you
let me be by my wife
everyday that I have passed by church and thanked you on my knees I have always tried not to ask you for anything, now I ask you please to let me be with my wife Jeanine when you decide and let me once again feel
the sun shine in my life and the night be with Jeanine and she tell me everything about heaven no matter how many centuries it takes , I want to hear every small detail coming from her and when this happens I will once
again have a home , my wife and most of all be blessed by you
Jeanine Catherine Childs I loved you all the years we have been together
my love for you grew like a seed of the biggest tree ever at the beginning the seed grew and with love and
affection and facing life together it grew more every day, we had some windy days but the tree kept on
growing and growing and now your with God and the tree will keep on growing as I will love you for ever
as true love never dies
until we meet again
your husband
Dear Jesus
Please allow Jeanine to read my letter
I have only my faith in you that allows me to hold on and hope you will let her read my letter
My Dear Jeanine
I love you and miss you so much, even do I try it hurts me more and more when your happy time goes by so fast and you feel happiness in the air , we might have rainy days but the sun always shines.
now I feel that 10 years have passed since your with Jesus and the pain is so much that I have no other option than to carry it, it is my cross and I hope I don’t carry it for a long time as I want to be with you
I hope if someone reads this they learn from my pain and suffering and always treat everyone with love
Now I understand what pain and stress means as before you were my sun that gave me energy to keep on
going, your family is well and Mike went on vacation with Melanie, he was sad that you did not get a chance to meet her as he is very happy at her side
Eddie is well and happy with Martha and traveling here and there , together and happy
your mom is well and very sad as she misses you
Alvaro is with me and were eating ham and cheese sandwiches since February
I love you so much boo, My heart is with you at all times
your husband that loves you
Until we meet again
Dear
Jesus
As time goes by when there is true love it always grow
As well as he pain
Now I truly understand the pain of losing your
Wife and other people who lose their partner
While in this world we are. To help and love one another
Help people smile and fin happiness
Comfort the people in pain and try. Our best to bring
Happiness to all
What brings more joy to us
To buy a new plane or to help someone in need
Who runs from violence and is alone with his family and needs to feed them
I would without a doubt help the person who needs to
Feed his family
We have all been blessed and we should count our
Blessings and help the needed
As when we go we will know we tried to help the needed
And they will know someone helped them
When you help it should be always anonymous
As bragging about helping is also not good
True help comes from the heart and Jesus would be happy for you
I miss my wife so much she was and will be the love of my life
She taught me so much good and kindness
Dear Jeanine I love you
Until we meet again
Dear Jesus
This weekend will be Father’s Day
And I wish you with all my love a great day
You have Jeanine at your side and she is the best ange ever
She will bring you happiness as she gave me all my happiness
She is the best ever
I love her so much
I miss her and I can’t live without her
Please give her a kiss on her forehead for me
Let her know I love her so much
Please keep me in mind with my request
Until we meet again
Dear Jesus
Another week goes by and my Love is more and more , I miss her so much as she was all that I ever wanted in life
my love, my companion, my friend and everything else
everyday I woke up and I thank you for the happiness you send me with her by mi side
I just hope one day you take me home
as home is with you and with Jeanine as home is where your heart is and my heart is with you and with my wife
nothing in this world can bring me happiness as to see you and Jeanine , I just cant wait to hug her and kiss her and
talk to her
she is all I ever wanted and needed to be happy
until we meet again
Dear
Jesus
Another week goes by and I carry my cross
All I see now is how much more hate and evil
Goes around
Kindness and compassion is losing
There is a lot of good people however now I see
How people are and how money has taken over
By experience how financial institutions try to collect
Debts from the family of the deceased without even checking if they have insurance on the debt
And how the good people that have decency try to make their best and trust people under this sad conditions
And now come the other ones who want to overcharge
When you are in a sad moment
There is still good people who put a shoulder by you
To help you and try to cheer you up and I pray that you bless all those good people
Jeannine was full of kindness and compassion to others and she taught me to be a better person
After you put her on life you can’t blame me for asking you to go home with you and her
Please allow me to text her the following words
My love Jeanine i will love for ever
Please when I go ask Jesus permission to take my hand and guide me to him and then to you
Until we meet again
Dear
Jesus
Another day goes by and Jeanine is needed in this
World as my loving wife who I miss with all my heart and
As the kind and compassionate person she is
All i read in news is people not getting along and
Unwilling to help the needed
Our eco system is being destroyed and one day
Jesus is really going to get mad
He will come as a humble person and he will see
Who is willing to help him regardless of his color
Race or any other issue
We should always be kind and humble as the greatest reward we can get is to know we helped someone
Jeanine was always willing to help
I love her and miss her
She is all I ever wanted
We never desired wealth
We were happy and worked hard to get ahead
She was my half and I was her half
Now I am all alone and I miss her every second
Dear Jesus you have the best Angel by your side
Dear
Jesus
I love you with all my heart and I love my wife Jeanine Catherine Childs de Macedo
I miss her and love her
I have learned and lived the true meaning of love
she had kindness and compassion and she was my world
I will love her forever waiting for my time to come and as the holy book states then I will be home
as home is with you and with Jeanine as she has my heart and I have to get it back when I see her
as now I am just a man that lives and his heart is with his wife he has a house and waits to go home with his wife as home is where you are and she is there with you
I don’t know what your plans are , However I do know where my heart is and who I love
as I go through life I can tell everyone love to the fullest and stay away from evil as there is no better
sensation than to love and be loved
best time in my life when I stayed home from my second job and spend a whole weekend with my Jeanine
under a blanket having pizza most likely Lou Malanti’s half cheese and half sausage as it was her favorite and we watched 3 seasons of sex and the city that was a popular tv show
Now that is Love we were together sharing a happy moment
we were not wealthy however we were happy we worked together and we helped and comforted one another
she was all my Universe and I was hers
she was sad I was there I was sad she was there
i always had 2 jobs trying to make the best for her and me and we hoped for a beautiful religious wedding in our home and Jesus took her
she started Lyft once in a while so we can make a beautiful religious wedding in our home and i tell you
having a second job was not worth it as I could have spend more time with her
we always tried to help the needed and in my case some family members and she always encouraged me to do so
as she reminded me constantly to be kind to others
i just cant stop loving her
all that i have is my faith and my love for her and these lines that i write in hope that someone will read it and
love their other half with great love
if you are kind to one another and help the needed without judging them because where they come their color and anything else God will Bless you as he Blessed me as I know she is with Jesus and with her father
she truly loved her mother and her brothers we talked about them with Love she told me her memories and
happy and sad moments and i told her mine
i was Happy and I learned the true meaning of Love
learn from me and love and don’t work to hard always encourage one another
Now my reward from Jesus one day will be when he takes me home to see him and my lovely wife
Jeanine Catherine Childs
