No finer person ever graced our presence. She fought ever so bravely through it all. I will always recall her words during my last visit with her… ‘This is it. It’s been a great run!’

Heartfelt sympathy to Jenny’s family. What a loss!!
So heart sick myself. What can be said that would really help the pain of loss? I’ve so prayed for Jenny’s recovery. Multiple times a day. But God’s Mercy is take us from the pain, sickness and suffering in this world if we cannot recovery.
I so loved being around Jenny. She was so much fun. We always were laughing and having a good time at the GOP HQ during her tenure as GOP Vice President. And she amazed me at how well she did that job. I so wanted more time with Jenny for the laughter and friendship we shared. She is no longer in pain, and is in the loving arms of the Lord she loved so much. I would only hope to be as inspiring to others as Jenny was to me. She was such a wonderful soft spoken person. I will miss her, and her laugh and friendship forever!!
We did not know Jenny personally only as neighbors of her late father and her sister Joan lives beside us. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as this time. God Bless you with strength.
