Oh my dear soul sister and best friend, I miss you, Jenny! It's almost been a year since your death and the pain of your loss is just as fresh, and just as bitter. I pray you've found peace, and an end to pain, and that despite my fears, some part of you exists, because the world is so empty without you! I love you, my friend.

I was so sorry to hear of Jenny's passing. I haven't seen her in many years, but she was a sweet girl, a friend, and a talented artist. My thoughts are with her family.
