Jenkins Family, The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone we love. May today's sorrow give way to the peace and comfort of God's love. Our sincerest condolences in your time of loss and sorrow.

Your mother was a wonderful "Southern Lady,' with love for everyone. I loved talking with her about our families. She had a special love for each of her children and grandchildren.
Her love for the Lord was always present, and I rejoice in knowing she is with Glenn and and our wonderful saviour.
May God keep all of you in his loving arms, helping you with the loss of your mother.
Know we care.
