We are so saddened to hear about Aunt Jennie. I just got the call on Tuesday night from Joleen who was out of state until today, so she just read it on an email message and I am in Phoenix due to my grandaughter's graduation. Bruce is working 12 hour days so he doesn't even know yet. I will call him in the morning. We loved her so much. So sorry we cannot be there to pay our respects. Love and prayers to all of you.

Grandma Jenny was a remarkable woman. I will always remember her as independent, fiesty, loyal, quick witted with an amazing sense of humor. She will be missed! She loved her family unconditionally. I am sure she is at peace now that she has been reunited with her beloved son, Tuck. Love to all, Judi Osborne Scott
