Dear Jennie, how we all laughed watching the clips of Grandma flubbing her lines for the "Quest for Willow Run"! I think you must have been laughing inside when you gave me my first Photoshop Lesson, too. We are so sad to lose you, but so grateful to have had you with us. You are part of us. We were family then; we are family yet. Love never ends.

When I think of Jen I remember Chris' account of the special gift of two white, furry pets that were presents to her nieces. I think of Jen as such a special, unique person, intelligent, and multi-faceted. My heart goes out to Chris and family.

Jenny....such special childhood memories. Grandmom's birthday cakes carefully held on her lap all the way down to Cherryhill, that summer at Stone Harbor watching you and your sisters, Easter egg hunts on Morgantown Road. It was always special to see you. Your smile... I will miss that smile.
