I had asked Kim if she remembered what Jenny was wearing at the accident scene...

Hi Ken,

Thank you for your kind email. I was glad to be able to share in that day [the burial] with you, Sue and your friends and family. Thank you for extending the invitation to join you. I told Sue on Saturday that I had written you two letters since we met the Saturday before. Both letters are unfinished. When you left our house I felt like I had so much more to say to you both. I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, but that was the feeling I had. So, I started to write. Ever since that day, I feel like Jenny is with me; at work, at the movies, riding the horses, cleaning the stalls, whatever. I always feel her presence. It almost feels like she is the sister I never had, and is now always with me. I often wonder, would she have liked to ride with me, would she even like the horses, would she have enjoyed this movie, or what would she think about a certain dress that I've tried on for the wedding. Her presence is so powerful. I can only imagine how wonderful it was to have her in your life while she was here on Earth.

After the burial I went to visit the gravesite of my grandfather, who is also buried there in Wildwood. I prayed. Before I left I asked him to take care of Jenny. Before I opened my eyes I felt as though they were already together, taking care of one another. She, making him laugh and keeping him young, while he was watching over her, loving her.

Thank you so much for the print that you gave me from Jenny's room. It now hangs above my bed in my room. At first when I hung it, it brought back very sad memories. Now, as I said earlier, I think of Jenny and how happy she is and what she would think of whatever I was doing. I am very grateful that you were able to share that with me. It is so very special.

To answer your question about what Jenny was wearing, yes I do remember, vividly. She was wearing a colorful striped shirt (the stripes were horizontal) and a pair of pants. I believe they were jeans. She had on black boots, just like Sue did, that had started to come off from the impact. For days after the accident I had a vivid memory of the small pink earrings she was wearing. They were small pink studs and I remember how shiny they were in her small ears. I also remember that her hair was much shorter than in any of the pictures I have seen of her. Sue was wearing a purple sweater, black boots and her wool coat.

Last night my mom and I went up to the barn at around 9:30 at night to take care of our horses. My mom's horse, Nicolette, is due to have a baby any day. So, we have been sleeping in the barn awaiting the arrival of her new foal. On our way up to the barn, we both looked up into the endless night sky and felt so grateful to be able to experience this wonder. I felt the comfort of Jenny and looked up to the star I thought might be hers. The sky was lit up with beautiful stars and was contrasted with the deep darkness of the night, it was almost like a dream. It was a very comforting feeling.

I hope all is well with you, Sue and Chris. May the healing and wonderful memories continue.

Love,
Kim
