My heart goes out to Dennis and the Holler Jenkins family. I take comfort in knowing she's reunited with our loved ones in heaven. Oh Punky, how I look forward to the time when we will see each other again. Every time I find an agate, sea shell, piece of driftwood, or evidence of a wild animal I will remember a story or experience that you shared with us. RIP, you will live in our hearts forever.

To the Holler family - I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many, many wonderful memories of all the years spent camping, celebrating holidays, and just plain having fun with your family, always with Punky ready to set us all straight when she thought we got a little out of line. She will be missed.

Love,
