My sympathies to Jene's family. I was lucky to have worked with Jene at Americana for several years. He was a very kind, dedicated, and caring caregiver and employee. He was very proud of his family and spoke of you all lovingly. He worked so hard for so many years... may he rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathy to family and friends. Jen was a devoted Healthcare worker who was very compassionate and giving of himself. We both worked with him for sometime at USA Healthcare. He was a very kind man, who never, ever said an unpleasant word about anyone. We shared many rides to/from work with him...he always spoke so lovingly about his family. Prayers for comfort and strength for family and friends. May he RIP.
