I met Sister Jennie at an Ohio Association of High Twelve Clubs Convention many years ago and we quickly became friends. we have remained friends ever since that day.
Her quite way of accomplishing the almost impossible is what drew me to her at first.
Later in was her kindness t everyone and her willingness to tackle every duty and complete any task that others felt impossible.
She was a kindhearted person that was loyal to her friends.
I believe that she was a Christian and that she is now rejoicing around GOD's Kingdom.
Brother Rollin: our prayers are with you as you go through this most difficult time.
