    My deepest sympathy to the family. We went to many of the family picnics that her and Leonard sponsored over the years. They were both at my wedding and spent time with my parents, Jay (Red) and Norma Brackeen. Wonderful memories

    My family met Jennie and family about 1955 – our neighbors down the street who welcomed us so newly in this country. What a kind, generous and loving lady!! Sheā€™ll always be fondly remembered by my siblings and me.
