Our hearts go out to Tom, Becky, Doug and family. Jenny was a lovely lady and I am sure will be missed deeply. I remember like it was yesterday how excited she was when she became an American citizen. It was a shinning day when American was able to claim her as one of us! You all are in our prayers!
