I remember working and spending time with Jennie in the 80's when she first came to work at the Post office. She was a good friend and as lives evolve you do lose touch but I will always have fond memories of Jenny. My condolences to all her family.

I shall miss seeing Ginny at mass regularly and admire that she continued her ministry until she no longer could. Her calmness, acceptance, and demeanor all mirrored her walk with God. She was such a good example for all of us and, I shan't forget the twinkle in her eyes as she smiled.
God bless you all!
