Although Jenny and I both went to Niantic-Harristown Community High School (now Sangamon Valley) that was not initially how we met and became friends. No, that happened more though a series of chance encounters via various shared friends, and over many years.
Jenny was one of a kind. Very distinctive from her siblings, and I always admired and respected her fire and strength. In fact, I took notes from it! She was as honest and real with people as she was tough and strong.
I got to know Jenny best during the time she worked at Decatur Gold & Pawn.We had some cool chats, and that was how I got to learn of her husband and family-----and how dearly she loved them. With Jenny there was no in-between: she was fire or ice, but you always earned which ever side she gave.
Good bye, Jenny. The world is an emptier place without you in it.
