Such a great loss for this family. I had the privilege of working with Jenny at the old Middletown hospital in surgery. Never a dull moment in our conversations, always smiling, and always encouraging, not only to her coworkers, but to those she served. May God bless and encourage and bring peace to this family at this time.

Jenny was a wonderful friend and co-worker. Jenny was kind to all. Her smile and her spirit is what I will miss the most, along with our lively conversations. To all of Jenny's friends, Cindy and family, I am so sorry for your loss.
