My memory of Jenny Wood is still alive and well. She was such a bright light at Thomson High School. She always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. I'm so happy that I saw her at our 45th class reunion.

Having had the pleasure, honor, and privilege of being in Jenny and Jim's wedding, I know what a delightful, charming person Jenny was. She brightened any and every room she was in. May God bless her and hold her in His hands until Jim's time comes to join her.
