It is with mixed emotions that we respond to Jenny's homegoing. We rejoice that the difficult struggle for her and her family is over and she is with her Savior and Friend, Jesus. But there is much sadness for all the family members who will miss her. Jenny was a very special follower of Christ. We knew her through Bethel BFC.
