Everyone who was fortunate enough to know Jenny truly had a fortune. She made us all so rich with love, laughs, wisdom, strength, joy... The list could go on and on. Jenny is a friend I will always treasure and never forget.

Dear Family: May God's Word comfort you now and always: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too." 2 Cor. 1:3-5. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, in Christ's love, Vince and Myra Stanley

Sweet Princess Jenny, you are finally healed! My prayers are for your family now. How we all miss you terribly. You touched me deeply and I hope to be half as courageous, graceful and positive as you as I continue on my journey through life. I know someday we will still meet face to face, and cross the finish line together. Until then, I will keep running and carrying your legacy of kindness strength and faith wherever I go.
Love and peace.
