Very sorry to hear of Jennie's passing. When Jo and Jennie lived in California in the 60's they became very close friends to my Parents Mauro & Adela Cortez. After they moved back to Cleveland, NM they talked my parents into moving there after retirement. My parents moved there and stayed until the end. We will always be so ever grateful to Joe & Jennie for their friendship 60+ yrs.
