It saddened me to hear that Jennie passed away. Your mother was a wonderful, gentle person. My parents were very fond of her and always looked forward to seeing her at Mount Zion services. When Jennie and I spoke on the phone we always talked about our love of birds, especially bluebirds. She will be in my prayers.
Love,
Ernestine and family
