I remember Grannie with those big beautiful eyes and a loving gorgeous smile, always doing something kind for someone along the way, every day. She was a ‘trooper’. Never complaining but always doing good. She will certainly be missed by all.
Praise the Lord,that we can rejoice and find comfort knowing that she is with Jesus and has really just begun to live through eternity with Him.
Our love and prayers are with you all and may you find strength and peace knowing that she is in God’s care.
Sandra and family, We send our condolences to you and your family. I remember your Mother well. She was a very nice lady. You are in our prayers. May God bless You in knowing that she is in heaven with the one’s that has gone on before her. Love, Roger&DonnieC.Grindstaff

Sandra, Terri and family,
I am so very sorry to hear that Ms. Jenkins did not recover from her illness and surgery. I feel very priveleged to have met and been her nurse while she was at Mission. Her lovely smile is not one I’ll forget. My only consolation is that you all shared with me what a wonderful and full life she had before her illness and I am thankful that her illness was brief. She obviously had given so much love in her life to have so many people caring for her at the end. Thank you for sharing her with me.
