Dear Joey and Jason,
Please accept my most sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. Mrs. Jenkins was always kind to me during the many hours I spent at your house when we were young. We were lucky to have your family in our neighbourhood. Even after we all moved out and your father had passed, I remember being in the car with dad during a visit home when she was checking the mail. Dad stopped so we could exchange greetings. It was a brief interaction, catching up on family and such. As we drove on to our driveway, dad commented that she was such a nice lady and a good neighbour. Thinking of you and your family!

Dear Mrs. Jenkins,
Remember me? Suzanne? Your math student for all 3 years that I attended Huguenot High School? You were very patient with me. Math was never my best subject but you were one of the best teachers I have ever had and one of the kindest. God Bless You Always! Suzanne Loehr (Class of 1973)

Mrs. Jenkins was my Geometry teacher at Huguenot High School. She cared about students and encouraged us to do well inside and outside of the classroom. It was great to see her years later and share my journey since graduating from high school. I was sorry to hear about her loss and send my sincere condolences to her family and our Huguenot High family as well. May she rest in peace.
