It was so sad to read that Jenny had passed away. I knew her for many years with my association with her at Walmart. Every week, I would deliver supplies that the Bakery Department needed. Each time I saw Jenny, she greeted me with her warm smile. My condolences to her family. Jenny will be missed, but is now with her Lord.
So sad about Jenny's passing. Hopefully, she is in a new happy home. I worked with Jenny for 25 years at Wal-Mart. She was always so cordial and never a bad word about others. Go in peace Jenny
I am so sorry to see that Jenny passed away! I am so glad that she called me from the hospital hire in Laramie and I got to go up and see her. I didn't realize that she was that bad. I hope that her and my mom are up in heaven hand in hand talking about us! As my mom went to heaven the day after she did. I thought the world of her. I always knew when she called me I needed to get her in right away to do her hair. As I knew she had wanted longer then she should have. Lol! Becky parker
