Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers for your loss. I knew Jenny years ago through a mutual friend, Lucy. We had many laughs together. She was so kind and always fun. I will be thinking of you. May she RIP. Gerry (Pascucci) Lipor. Florida

Jennie, was 2 years behind me at St. Joe's but I knew her and her parents. She always had a smile and seemed to be well liked by her peers. I remember her and her friends at the CYO dances. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.Mike De Fazio

I was only acquainted with Jennie in high school and to be honest not all that well, but she always struck me as a lovely person and a good soul. My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to her family and close friends. Al Franceschini
