Dear Jeff and Jin-Si,
I am sorry to just learn of Jenny’s passing. I used to clean house for her and she was such a wonderful, kind, sweet lady. I only got to meet you both a couple of times but my heart goes out to you as you have lost such a wonderful mother and wife. Jenny brought me a purse home from one of her travels to her homeland and each time I have used it over the past 5 years, I often wondered how she was doing with her battle of her health and would say some prayers for her. I still think of her each time I carry the purse and now will remember to say some prayers for both of you as you struggle to get through with out her. Blessings and much grace be on you both especially as you go through the holidays with out ‘mom’. May the peace of God comfort you and keep you..

Dear Jeff and Jin-Si,
I was privileged to work with Jenny at IBM. I remember Jenny as a smiling, happy, caring person. When she was no longer able to travel to Columbia, her absence was felt by all there as we also considered her a friend. We are so sorry for your loss and pray that time will be able to provide some level of healing, so you can remember what a wonderful person Jenny was and know that she will continue to live in our hearts and minds.

Dear Jin-Si:
I am so very sorry to read that your mother has passed away. I never met your mother and having you, Jin-Si, in 6th grade health, tells me that she must have been a very special lady. I’m sure your mom was very proud of all of your accomplishments in high school and knew that many, many more would (and will) come your way. I do hope that all the fond memories of your mother make you smile when things aren’t always peachy. The love is always there. Take care Jin-Si.
Mr. Over, please accept my sincere condolences.

May you draw close to God and “throw all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7) God cares about each one of us and our suffering. He will soon put an end to the things that make us suffer such as losing a loved one. He promises that he will bring them back to life just as we read in John 5:28,29. He will “wipe out every tear” from our eyes.(Revelation 21:4)Jehovah God will soon fix all the problems through his Kingdom that we pray for in Matthew 6:10.These promises comfort me knowing that soon we will see our loved ones again here on earth in paradise.(Psalms 37:29)May these promises bring you hope during this difficult time.
Dear Jeff and Jin-Si,
Please accept my and my wife’s (Elsje van Munster) condolences for your great loss. During the past several years I have marveled at and admired the quiet dignity, grace, and courage with which you have both dealt with Jenny’s long suffering–which is now over.
Blessings to both of you,
Gene (and Elsje)
Dear Jin-Si and Jeff,
I am very sorry for your loss. Jeff, I had the joy of working with Jin-Si in the Art department and musicals, always a special, enthusiastic girl. Jin-Si, I never knew your mom, but she must have been special to have such a talented and quality daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
