I have great memories of Jennie Sue, we went to school together, we cheered together, and I could always call her a great friend. Her sister Jane married my brother so we've had many connections. Our last connection was we had hip replacement surgery one week apart, we talked many times about our pain and soreness. She will be greatly missed. Loved her so much.

I only met you a couple of times and both times were a blessing. The love and adoration for your family was endless. I've smiled and giggled over Lauren's stories of you over the last three years - I am sure more will come. Know that we will love on your babies while you watch from above. Rest in peace.
