Mom, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, I miss u so much, I think about u everyday, I never thought u would be gone, I'm just relieved ur out of pain... LOVE U MORE...❤️
Mom I love u more .... I'm gonna miss u so much but I must admit, I'm so glad you are finally out of pain. I love u so much mom,forever and always.
So here's a pic of my beautiful mom in high school, and when she was a baby and then her on her wedding day with my dad Rick Harkness.
Jenny and I shared many good times and I truly admired her integrity when we had deep conversations. I will admit she drove me a little crazy sometimes because of her choices in life but I loved her dearly. My most fond memory with Jenny is about this one special day when I was working at the 13th floor. As usual our mom would call my work and try to get me to come home to be with her which I usually would not, except this one day she also called my boss and told him she needed me. He practically forced me to leave so I did. Once i’m at the house, i’m walking around looking at stuff in my room across from our moms bedroom door, listening to my
our mom calling my name. As i’m listening to her in real disbelief I realized “This is not my Moms voice but Dora Ann’s!” as i’m listening the voice continues to get louder and louder. I truly could not believe I was hearing my sisters voice saying my name, so as I get ready to open the door the telephone rings. I answered- It was Jenny and she said “What are you doing?” and I said “I’m here at moms checking on mom to see how she’s doing and she’s in her bedroom yelling my name, but I said “Jenny it’s doesn’t sound like mom” in such disbelief and then Jenny says “ Laura, I don’t know how to tell you this but moms with me”. I threw the phone up and as I was running out I hear Jenny say “ Go in the room.. go in the room!” I will never forget this day and I appreciate my sister. I hope they are now at peace together. Love Laura Olson
I have thought a lot about Jennie over the years and I appreciate so much the memories when we were young swinging in my folks (Gale and Kay Jensen) backyard. My dad Gale loved his sister, my aunt Leila, Jennie's mom and I'm grateful for all my cousins. I hope the next realm is full of the grace for Jennie and us all ✨
Sending sympathy and love to Jennie's children and love ones✨
Sincerely,
Anne Jensen
I am so thankful I could spend time and help Jenny this last year. She went thru a lot. Her life was full of everything you can imagine and it was hard for me to her in the state she was in. She was definitely a straight shooter, I liked that about her. She had her ups and downs but was a good person. She was so appreciative towards me. I will miss my little sister and wish we could have spent more time together. I love you little sister. Spread your wings, fly with no pain and I will see you soon. Lynda
