We are comforted by the knowledge that Jenny is resting peacefully in His loving arms. She graduated from Robert E. Lee High School where she was selected as a senior beauty. Jenny was a Lady-in-Waiting in the Texas Rose Festival and later graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Fine Arts.
