Jenny was extremely supportive, during a difficult time, when we worked together at Park Place Care Center. May the below and the love and support of family and friends get you through this difficult time:
Have you stayed beside a loved one
Till you knew her soul was free?
Did you feel her swift soul pass you,
Hear, in part, the mystery?
Did you feel the glad exulting
Of the one now freed from pain,
Sense her high anticipation
as she rose with life again?
If you did, God gave a blessing
Age nor toil can take away,
A revealing of life's wonder,
Foretaste of a brighter day.
Now I know a few words, whispered,
As a dear one leaves Earth's path,
Give true visions to assure us
And tell of that great aftermath.
For, to me, death's sting was lessened
And it's victory was proved slight,
Because I heard and felt the gladness
Of a soul on upward flight.

My deepest sympathy to Jenny's family. I was also a LHS classmate of Jenny's. Her brilliant smile could light up a room, as I'm sure she making Heaven a little brighter too. "Yet we have this assurance: Those who belong to God shall live again. Their bodies shall rise again! Those who dwell in the dust shall awake and sing for joy! For God's light of life will fall like dew upon them" Is 26:19

It is very, very sad to hear that a classmate has returned into the arms of God. I recall Virginia with nothing but very fond memories. Remember hitting games and events and talking all the time. She always had such an infectious smile! Any person that passes on is never easy to hear, however when it hits home, it becomes a little tougher. I can only hope the pain her family feels is soon replaced with the love and fond memories that have of Virginia.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. I just recently got back in touch with her through facebook about the middle of last year. Keeping your family in our prayers.

To the Holmes family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jenny the last few months I was at Heartland Healthcare. She was a joy to be around. A bright light has been dimmed. She always had a smile on her face. I pray the Lord will give you the strength you need to endure until you are reunited with her.....God Bless

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away,
and although we love you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to show us:
He only takes the BEST!!
I will miss you my beautiful sister!!

Words cannot describe how empty the world feels without you. I love you so much Mom. I know that your pain and suffering is finally over, and you're in a much better place. I can't wait until we are re-united again in Heaven for eternity. I will keep my promise to you and become an Aviator. As soon as I get my wings, I hope that you will spread yours and fly next to me. I miss you Mom...
