We have such sweet memories of Jenny. We attended Downtown Christian Church with Doug and Jenny and later sweet Kane joined our Church family. Eventually, we two families moved on to separate Churches and sadly, lost contact with one another.
Jenny was:
*most caring and loving
*an excellent teacher who loved her students
*a Christian, strong in her faith and beliefs
*always a beautiful smile
*loved her family with every fiber in her being
*our world will be much sadder without her.
Much love,
Tom & Vicki Webster

I am so sorry. I live in Hillmont Heights. We had a dog named Dandy that your sons loved. I always loved Jennifer. My love and prayers, Shirley Butler
