What I remembered...

I wish to offer you my deepest sympathies for Jenny's death, and also tell you that my family is continually praying for Sue. I'm not sure what to say, or think, or do right now, everything seems like such a blur. It's so hard to know what to say when something like this happens, so hard to express how you feel or what you want others to know.

I wanted to tell you what I remembered of Jenny during the times I saw her around homeschooling events. She was always nice to me, always wanting to talk to me and always wanting to play. I remember the time that all of us gathered at your house to look through your enormous telescope, and how she encouraged me when I was frightened of the rope swing, and her generosity in letting me play games outside in the dark. I remember being totally amazed when she handed me her famous "word in every space" word puzzle, which she had worked carefully and diligently on, in order to perfect it. I never solved it, though.

My impression of Jenny was that she was a loving, caring child. She never seemed to wish anything else but to help others and to be a part of everything. Knowing that she's gone now, the world has definitely lost something precious, a person that meant more than words could say to those who were close to her.

I can only hope that what I write can be helpful and comforting to you, and I can only pray that God be with you through the times ahead. Come what may...

Yours,
Jocelyn
