The memories I have of Nana / Grandma "jennie" will be everlasting. I first knew her as the security guard at Bradford. Now I know her as Nana. Her kids loved her and her grandkids adored her. I'm sure glad I've been able to spend time with her and get to know her. She will be missed by everyone. I'm here for you all. Love, Courtney

Jennie was a great lady. I remember her most from my lunch hours at McKinley Junior High School running the cash register and making sure everyone was well fed. Since then of course as my brother in laws mother, and my nephews Nana. Thinking of all of you during this difficult time. Bob & Winnie Dalla Santa
