Jenny loved everyone. She always had a smile on her face and joy in her heart. My parents and I spent every summer in Roanoke and Jennys family was my second family. I have great memories and even though I haven't seen her for a long time she will be missed. She loved visiting W. Va and the cousins and Aunts and Uncles there. She always asked for chocolate IceCream because Mommy didn't like chocolate. I can still see her scooting around in her small chair that Uncle Oatis put wheels on. You couldn't keep her down and she was always ready to go. Love and prayers to her family. Welove you all

I had the great pleasure of performing music at The Virginia Home for Jenny and her fellow residents on many occasions. I was invited to by my friend Pat Musselwhite, her trustee. Jenny was always in a good mood and sang along, what more could a performer ask for? For her 65th birthday, she requested I do a full set of Ricky Nelson tunes. I was happy to oblige.

I have great memories of my cousin Jenny Lynn. She always wanted to go on a plane ride so I took her on the plane ride , she had a great time. We had a lot of fun growing up when I used to spend summers in Roanoke.

Lovely individual. She's been on my mind since I heard. She seemed so upbeat recently. Sad

To a very nice cousin to be around, I can remember all the good times we had when I was a younger child, we spent all of our summer's down in Roanoke and went to the lake and had a blast, and I also enjoyed Jenny Lynn's company. She always wanted me to spend the night with her, which I did. She will be deeply missed. Love you Jenny Lynn.

Love,
Cousin
