May the good Lord hold Aunt Jenny's family close and comfort them during this difficult time.
My Aunt JennyWhen I was a little girl, I recall Aunt Jenny coming to see us around Christmastime. She would always bring my sister, Mary, and I a pair of white gloves. I always looked forward to seeing Aunt Jenny. I remember her pretty hair, and she was so sweet to us.My father was her brother. I sensed they were close and good friends. We love you Aunt Jenny.Karen and Mary
Virginia was a very special lady….independent….curious….self educated in many subjects and an all-around interesting person. Her lasting legacy is the 3 beautiful children she raised and now the families they have. It was our honor to know her.
