Aunt Jenny was a very caring, loving woman. To know her was to Love her. Many years ago there was much canning to be done. Jenny and Aunt Catherine would be there to help my Mom finish the canning while the men would churn up homemade ice cream. She will be missed but I know in my heart we will see her again. R.I.P. Sweet Jenny. Love, Bill/Roberta
