Todd, kids and family,
Your are in my thoughts and prayers. Jenny was a beautiful person and a very special lady. She touched many lives especially all those little lives of children she always looked out for. Everyone she knew is more blessed to have been touched by Jenny. I will always remember the times I spent with your family.

Debra, Todd and Family:

My thought and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time. Jenny was such a very special person, her sweet smile and bright eyes. I have been very fortunate to work with Debra over the last 8 years and know how devoted she has been, raising her children and how these traits were passed down to Jenny. Not only was Jenny a wonderful mom, but a good christian woman and a inspiration to us all, through her battle with cancer. I know that Jenny is not suffering anymore, because she is with god and he has healed her. Just remember love never dies, it is always in our hearts. May God Bless you all today, in the coming weeks and months. Love Carla Huffman

My heart aches for you and your family with the loss of your wife/mother/daughter/sister and friend. Our prayers have been with you during the last two years and will continue to be with you during the coming weeks and months as you grieve the loss of Jenny. Jenny was always very special to me when I taught her in Sunday School, and Computer Class at school. She always had a very tender heart for others. I have always been impressed with how she loved and cared for her children. Her courage and strength fighting the cancer was an inspiration to all of us who saw her determination. Please know I want to be here for all of you now and in the future. Our home is always open for fellowship and baby sitting!

My thoughts and prayers are with Jennys family. They saw her through some really tough times. She was blessed to have all of them.I feel very fortunate to have visited with her a couple of days before she went to be with our Lord, and the feeling of love that was in her house was amazing. She was loved by so many. She had to leave her three beautiful children with their dad, but she is with her other son now, and as a mother I know she is at peace. Heaven is a little more special now.
