“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in His son, He that hath the son hath life; And He that hath not the son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto You that believe on the name of the son of God; That ye may Know that ye have eternal life…” John 5:10-13
I wanted to let you know your family is in our prayers.

We are verry sorry to hear about the death of Jennis.He will always be in our hearts and thoughts..We will always rember him as the loveing and carring man he was and will always be..He will greatly be missed and loved always.
I will miss you grandpa.
You always had a way of making me feel so special when I was little while I sat in your lap and you would joke with me. You taught me how to play backgammon, kept my secrets, (unstuck my glued fingers :), and made the best potato salad I have ever had. The last time I saw you, you came to my wedding and it meant the world to me for you to be there. I will always remember the patient,smart and funny man you were. I love you Grandpa.
Dear Darlene & Family, We were sorry to hear about Jennis’s fall and death, we send our sympathy in your deep loss. What special pictures! What special memories you have! We plan to attend the service in Wichita on Fri. May the Lord give you strength and comfort in this difficult loss of your beloved Jennis.
I will always cherish the time I got to spend with my Grandpa. Spending the summers with him and Grandma on the lake, fishing and helping around the house. Those are the fondest memories that will stick with me forver. He was a loving and caring man. I will miss you deeply. I love you….
Dad, So many images come to mind whenever I speak your name. It seems without you now, things will never be the same
My DAD, My HERO. I will always Love you
