My path intersected with Jenny's for only a short time, but I know I am the richer for it. May the sadness you feel be tempered by your happy memories and the knowledge that Jenny is now free of all worldly suffering. With sincerest sympathy,

May God be with you all at this time. Janet was a good friend to me. I was with her at John Scott House and she made it a better stay for me. May she rest in peace. Love, Joyce Smith
