To Jennie's family - this sad news is so devastating to me, I cannot imagine what heartbreak and sadness your family is going through. Jennie meant so much to me. I am so proud of the wonderful woman she had become. I reread a letter she had sent me a while back. She told me how proud she was of Amber, Jessica, and her other family members. She spoke of difficulties and sadness in her life but how she was hanging in there. All of you took on a lot and I hope your family keeps hanging in there. Jennie also shared how happy she was to be with and married to the same loving man for so many years. Donnie - she was proud to be Mrs. Jennie Connett. I will miss my letters and emails from Jennie, but she will always be in my heart. Jennie knows your hearts are hurting but would want you to have great lives and be the best you can be. She will give you strength, I know she will give it to me. I am proud to have been her teacher and most importantly, her friend. Jennie is now our "Light from Above".......My love to you all........Kim Andresen
