The Lord has welcomed someone very special into Heaven and we know how special she really was cause to most she was simply known as Mom and Mom means so many things and in so many ways. To most she is your mother to others she was always there just like a mother would be. I have only known the Hicks family and Jenny for 7 months but during those 7 months you have treated me like family and you will always be family to me and Jenny was just like a second mother to me 99 out 100 times she would call me son instead of my name and that made me feel very important to her, Im so sorry for your loss but please remember your all loved so much and I will always be there for you all whenever you need someone to talk to or anything at all. I will always remember waking up in the middle of the night at the house to a noise coming from Mom's room and heard Striker barking so I jumped out of bed and ran into her room to see what it was we both thought it was someone trying to break in through the window and once I turned on the light to see what it was it was just a balloon that got caught in the ceiling fan and we both laughed and everytime we talked about it brought a smile to her face and thats one of many things I will always remember about her because no matter what was going on good or bad she made light out of everything and made you laugh or smile cause thats the great person that Mom was. I feel so cherished to have known her even if it was for a little time and I feel so greatful to have been there when she was welcomed into Heaven and received her wings because we all know she would one day be an Angel in Heaven just like she was an Angel to all of us right here on earth because she was truly an Angel among us.

Nothing can be said to make this feel better, nothing will ever make this feel better. The only thing we can do is to try and take some comfort from the fact that she suffers not. The burden of the living is to honor her memory and remember all the lives she touched and enriched with her presence. We still love and live, and she will still be loved, and live with us all in our hearts and minds. Thanks to her I know it's a bad thing to take a permenant marker to the side of a roadrunner. Just a small example, if you don't know the story,thats okay, Aunt Ginny does.

I really don't know what to say.Sorry just doesn't seem to hit it right,I guess I really just want to let you all know that I Love you all and hope that TOGETHER you ALL can help each other to try and ease the hurt. Over the past few days I have thought of all the summers together and how long ago it's been. Then I think of Aunt Jenny and all I hear is her laughing at Little Larry and his antics. Of course after his chewing. I know Larry is waiting to welcome her home. This brings me comfort. I pray that soon you may find comfort.
