Hi Sis,

Just thought I'd drop in an entry tonight. Was so tired when arrived home. Said prayers knowing that Jennie is in a better place. Had a wonderful time in JESUS Name this past Friday. Jennie is real proud of you. Hope that you and grandma (also the family) are doing well. Talk to you Monday.

Thank you Jennie for welcoming us (Chris and I) into your life also for the encouragement, understanding and words of wisdom that you gave me throughout my time with you and daddy. Love you.
