Dear Betty, Shirley, Neva, Barry and families,
Sending lots of love and prayers to you all on the loss of your dear mom, grandmother and great-grandmother. Jennie was a lovely lady and loved by all who knew her. I remember her smile, kindness and soft spoken voice from my playtime’s with Marie after school. I also remember shelling peas from Walter and Jennie’s great garden, with Marie, and having them fresh a few hours later at dinner time. I think we both ate more then we put in the pot to be cooked! 🙂
I visited Jennie and Walter at their home in Liverpool many years ago and I still have the beautifully wooden carved Bluejay that Walter made in my living-room. So I will always have something to remember them both by.
Mom wanted me to pass on her deepest sympathy and condolences to you all. As Pam mentioned in her message, Mom and Jennie were good friends and she truly appreciated their friendship and will miss their phone calls. Rest in peace, Jennie. Please give Marie and my Dad a big hug and kiss from me! God bless!
Love & blessings to you all,
Belinda xoxo
