My sympathies to all who have been close to Jenny. I saw that she played a significant role with you all leading the alumni association and I know she will be sorely missed. May God bless her family and friends who have known her well.

from Kelly Roney (76-attended REHS freshman year)
I knew Jenny 35 years ago at Scenic Hills Elementary. Her sweetness and grace and bright open smiling face made a lasting impression on me. It is so sad that she's gone.

from Mary Berryhill (former teacher at Coleman)
As Dale Berryhill's mother, I've known Jenny since they both attended kindergarten together. I last saw her at her 48th birthday party, which was very moving for her. Her sister and mother were in attendance, as well as many classmates from Scenic Hills School and Raleigh-Egypt. She was a sweet, loving, caring person to her children--I hope some day that they will appreciate all that she did and felt for them. I'm sure she is now in a better place and has found peace.
