To all Jennie's family I send my wishes for God's grace and peace. Jennie always had the sweetest smile and gracious manner about her. She loved to visit and was a good conversationalist. She will be missed, tears will be shed,
but joy at the thought of her being with her Lord will over come all sadness. God bless, Alice
