Not sure what to say?

My pre school teacher. She was so kind and caring. RIP Mrs.Ashley

In loving memory of a wonderful person. She was my son’s pre school teacher. He will be 20 this year. He was very shy and would cry when I would leave him. She was so kind and caring about how he was feeling. She worked her magic and by the end of the year, he was singing and dancing “The Soup Opera” with all of the kids in his class. Truly a beautiful soul that will be missed!

Jennie had a way of making those around her at ease and accepted. Ryan You will continue to be strong for yourself and for Emerson and Paige. Jennie knew about the loss of a parent as a young person just coming into adulthood and I hope Emerson and Paige will continue to hear her word of love and encouragement as echos from beyond. You are all in our prayers

Jennie was my neighbor in the old Dublin. We became good friends when we found a common love for anything Clarkston and $1 Supersized iced tea from McDonald’s. I’ll miss our morning walks at the CJHS track during the summer. Jennie was a wife and mom first, loyal friend, and a dedicated teacher. It has been an honor and a blessing to call her my friend. She is fully healed and living peacefully in heaven (planning some amazing celebrations).

My son loved you. Thank you for being a wonderful teacher

I only got to meet Jennie this year as I welcomed Paige into my class. It is clear Paige got so much of her amazing character and big heart from her mom. I hope you are able to rest in her love and joyful memories. Sending all my love.

Our condolences to the family and to her parents Elden & Dianne McClure

Sending prayers and my condolence to Eldon and Dianne and family, May god bless you and your family during this time of sorrow.

Jennie was an amazing GSRP teacher, back in the day. The children in her classroom were blessed with a joyful first experience of school. Her playful yet purposeful routines and plans introduced children to literature, math and science in ways that challenged them, but never overwhelmed them.

While we (the preschool group) were sad to see her move up to kindergarten, we also knew that it was a very good thing for her future students.

My heart goes out to her family and...
