John, I was so sorry to hear about Jennie.She seemed like such a wonderful person.
I am so sorry for your loss.

I will always be in awe of Jennie’s vivacity, flirtaceousness, and general love of everything she pursued. I, too, can testify to her talents from a young age, having been subjected to the 8mm movies of all her recitals from an early age in the Welch basement in Champaign. She will be dearly missed, but will remain alive in our thoughts and memories of her.
Know that you all remain in my thoughts and prayers… Love, Hal
Jennie and I only got to know each other while waiting for auditions, usually up for the same role. But I could see the funny and easy to be with spirit in her. Watching her on stage, I always admired her beautiful voice, and her comic timing. She was a true talent. John, I hope you will have loved ones around you as you head forward and know that Jen is at peace but her energy is still with us.
So sorry to hear the news, and sorry I can’t make it. I always enjoyed working with Jennie. She was always upbeat and a great performer with whom to share a stage.
So sorry for your loss…our thoughts are prayers are with Jennie’s family.
Talented, witty, wry, cheerful, upbeat, supportive, caring, dedicated, professional–these words come to mind to describe Jennie. She lit up everyone’s life whenever she was around.
I have a lot of wonderful memories of growing up with my sophisticated Texas cousin Jennie. This meek little Oklahoma relative was always so in awe of Jennie and her family, and Jennie showed her star qualities from as far back as I can remember! My love to Jennie and her family, especially Patti, Katye and Mike. She will be missed so much, and remembered so fondly.
John, I can’t tell you how sorry (and shocked) I am to hear about Jennie. It’s still hard to imagine that she is no longer here. My heart goes out to you and your family. I have so many memories of Jennie…each funnier than the last. She brought so much joy to all who knew her and who had the honor of working with her. Her beautiful dimples will forever be ingrained in my head. You both were a part of my life for many years. All my love….
Jennie was a shining star, both as a person and on stage! I was lucky enough to perform with her years ago in a few shows and I remember admiring her ease, her absolute professionalism and her great kindness an an actor. She radiated love and laughter and I will never forget her.
Saddened by the loss of such a funny, talented and adorable girl, we send our heartfelt condolences to John, who has been such a wonderful and caring husband for Jennie… .. She will be greatly missed…
