I was so sorry to read Jennie's obituary in the G.R. Press last Sunday. Had I known I would have been to the funeral. I had volunteered at Maple Creek for a few years helping with the activities. When I ceased to volunteer I just went back on Thursdays (when I wasn't in Florida) to see Jennie. She always exclaimed "Mary Ann"! She was such a sweetie! I have been away for 3 weeks and I was planning on visiting her this Thurs. Gyla was there the last time I visited Jennie, so I was happy to meet her. I will miss our Thursday visits. God bless and keep her. Mary Ann Warnez
