    Dearest Family, Although we live so very far away from you, my Mom, Aunts and Uncles often shared many wonderful stories about your sweet Mother and all of you as well. We knew her faith was deep and helped guide her throughout her life. She also passed this precious gift to all of you. Although it is so very sad to say goodbye we can be comforted in knowing that your dear Mother is at eternal rest in heaven. I hope your know my Mother (Jeanne Jennings) and my brothers, sister in laws send our love and prayers to you now and in the days ahead. So very sorry we cannot be there in person. Cousin Sue Leslie
