    Ron, You have my deepest sympathies in the loss of your Jennie. While i never met her, you always spoke so highly and with love about her.
    Heaven surely has a beautiful, new angle. I hope you happiest memories will be a comfort to you in the days ahead.
    Hugs, JoAnn

    We were both shocked and heartbroken to hear about Jenny’s passing. Still can’t believe she was called home so young. Know that we wish you Gods peace and Jenny is now in her Creators loving light. Rest her beautiful soul.❤️

    Wayne and I wanted to be there for you today but we are both sick and out of respect and consideration to others, we couldn’t be there. I just finished watching the stream of the service and my heart breaks for you, your children, your grandchildren, your sister, etc. Know that we love you and were there in spirit. I remember when dear Jennifer was born, your precious first-born…..Wayne and I will be praying that God, in His Mercy and Grace, will comfort you, sustain you, give you peace, give you courage, and hold you in His arms in the coming days, weeks, etc. We are always here for you, Jeanette and Rick – we’ve been friends for so long and we love you and miss you. Would love to see you when the time is right and just talk about the good ole days. Again, our sincerest and heart-felt sympathy to you both. xoxo

    I have fond memories of my time with Jennie while our kids were in grade school and I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was so fun with a great laugh and it was obvious just how much she loved her kids. I am so very sorry for your loss.
