Aunt Jennie embodied the love, faith, strength of character and endurance that will serve as a role model for me always.
The challenges that were put in front of her, were met with grace, dignity and tremendous faith.
Knowing her over the past 5 years, has made me even prouder of the family I have married into.
Fondest thoughts and best love to you, Aunt Jennie. You are an inspiration to me.
