My grandmother was one of the sweetest women Ive ever known. Even when she was sick she would hold me and make me feel better. At my grandpas funeral in april she held me and I could feel Gods comfort flowing through her. She had more faith and devotion to the lord then Ive ever seen before. Drew Sederquist

RIP dear Jenny. The woman who never gave up on living. Even with all the struggles you had, you just never stopped. Busy, busy, busy hands, mind and heart. You always amazed me. Irene Dieterman

She adopted me as her sister (since I have none) and took me into her heart and gave me confidence to be an artist. I am in her debt and in her love, and she will be an example of faith and courage throughout my life. My sympathy and love are with the whole family! <3 Victoria Reynolds

I am so sorry to hear about Jenny. I have a beautiful painting that she did for me, that I will always treasure. I cleaned for Ann, many years ago and was blessed to have met the whole family. Thinking of every one of you! Lesley Lesley Boelens
