Dear Kevin and family, My heart is breaking for all of you. I worked with Jennie in accounting at Hazco Services for many years. We were a great team. She loved you all so much and your little Grandson was so special. I am so sorry for your loss. She was just saying she only had 3 treatments left, so I thought she was doing ok. Cancer sucks!!! You all are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
