Ms. Lewis was one of my favorite teachers I remember when she started at Walton High School I had her for English. As years past I had the pleasure of knowing her as a friend and my son also got the privilege of having her as an English teacher. She left a very big mark on a lot of lives I hope she knew that. Rest in peace Jenny.

My favorite memory of Jenny Lou was when she made us write a paper on the obituary section of the newspaper. First thought was, what? Why do we want to write about dead people? However, it was the next statement she said - 'Everyone in the obituary section meant something to someone'. Well, here we are ready HER obituary!!! I haven't seen or talked to her in years but I know one thing, she meant something to me! She made me realize that dead or alive, everyone means something to someone!...
