Our sympathies for the loss of your mother. My mother, (Helen) was good friends with her. They did a lot together in past years. She was so good to Mom after my Dad died.I Enjoyed visiting with her when I saw her. Got many Christmas letters from her. She had beautiful handwriting.. She was so proud of her family. God Bless, Ginny.
Thoughts and prayers.

Jenny was the best. I remember sharing music at her place with others in a session a few times. Since I play clarinet I felt somewhat different with the rest of the strummers but she made me feel a part of it. She found music that would fit all instruments and she did play with me as a duet. She will always be to me a very generous and kind soul. God Bless her and may her family be consoled by all of our prayers.
