Ms. Jennie is resting for now. My condolences. John 11:11

My Aunt Jennie was my favorite Aunt.She was like a Second Mother to me. From birth to age 6, She would hold me and kiss me, showing her love for me.As I got older, she would pull me around all over my Grandparents farm in Big Sandy,Tx.in a Radio Flyer wagon. When she got her new 1950 Chevy, I would be safely tucked, standing behind her right shoulder as she would squire me all over Big Sandy. Less than 6 months ago, I sent her the "Heaven" book by Dr.Charles Stanley, and told her that I aways wished she was my Mother. I am utterly heartbroken in grief now. May the Good Lord Bless her in Eternity and hold and comfort her family now.

We loved that dear lady. She was was a good friend for many years. Our deepest sympathy to her daughters and their families🙏

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
