It is with great sadness I write to Jen’s family regarding her passing.
She and her twin sister Jill and their mother Bev Rhoads left their mark in Hudson, Quebec.
Bev taught me in Grade 4.
I remember the twins when they were small and had lunch with them on their grandparents Helen and
Mait Mullan’s porch.
I still have a cat plate which Jen and Jill gave me.
I know there is a special bond between twins and my heart especially goes to Jill and her family.
I guess we have to hope that Jen is with her mother Bev and her grandparents Helen and Mait.

Dear David,
we have known each other for over 30 years; that’s like a whole life. In recent years, you introduced us to your wife Jennine who we immediately appreciated and got along with very well. The two of you have come to visit us here in Germany three times and it was always such a wonderful encounter. We will be missing Jennine very much; she will always be in all our memories and thoughts, and we can almost feel her smile sometimes…
Feel embraced, stay healthy and come back soon, because you are our friend and always welcome.
Love, Ursula Stefan Tina Wally Miriam
