Jenny was such a wonderful friend that I met while working on the Mother/Baby Floor at MMC back in 1994. One of the sweetest ladies around and sometimes we prayed together. So glad I saw her in the store about a month before she passed. She was blessed with a super kind family and I never heard a cross word out of her mouth. I miss you Jenny❤ RIP
