Rest in peace, dear Jennie. I will treasure the memories of you and your wonderful husband. You taught me how to play Canasta when I was about twelve years old. I always loved visiting with your mom, dad and your family. I am so glad that my sisters and I were able to visit with you, Cory and your brother Vince before each of them passed away. I know that you and Cory are together again. Deepest condolences to your family. Sincerely, your cousin Diane (Pisani) Fritz
