I'm wondering who "Punkin" is...but I'm thinking it could be any one of her grandchildren.  Looking at that rose photo, I think of one grandchild in particular.  I have a tropicana rose in my garden that currently has 5 blooms. When I look at that bed of roses, I say "Hi, Mom, I love you".  I know those roses are blooming by her hand.  Oh, how I love and miss you, Mom!

I miss you Gram. So many things make me think of you, songs, flowers, food, pictures... a lot of good things in life that I learned to enjoy from you. Tears come at the strangest times, but then I take a deep breath and know it's ok. But i miss you, there is no other way to put it!

I count it a privelage and a blessing to have known such a wonderful person. Jane - enjoy your eternal life in heaven.  This isn't goodbye, it's "till we meet again...."

Gram, 
I may miss you, but I won't mourn for you, for what is important and sacred, you taught me.  You loved me, even at my worst, just as you told me Jesus loved us all, even at our lowest.  What you gave to me is priceless, and only now, can I see, exactly what you meant to me.  Pickles, watermelon, noodles, hydrangeas, the Bible, rhubarb, runny macaroni and cheese, jabby pine trees, laughing in church so hard the pew shook.  If I am ever 1/2 the woman you were, I will be the best woman I can ever be.  Thank you for scary bedrooms, peanut butter and butter, hidden fireplace compartments, pink lozenges, and more than anything, for loving me, just me, good me, bad me, angry me, sad me, failure me, successful me.  Again, I will miss you, but never mourn for you.  You are exactly where you should be.  Thank you Gram.  I love you.

Susie, Diane and families
You have my deepest sympathies for the loss of your loved one. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you in the coming days

We would like to wish our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Kenney's family, and friends. she was not only a great Sunday School teacher,to us 50 years ago, but also to our daughters, 30 years ago. She was also a great friend to our parents. Her life, lived for Christ, was an example, we all should strive for. She definitely is one of the Godly women, we know we will see again in Heaven. Love and prayers, Marie, Butch, and Family

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family, I only know of Mrs. Kenney from her daughter, Cindi, who always was devoted to her Mother. I enjoyed her stories and pictures of her Mom she posted on Facebook and also every time I sent up a batch of "stamps" it gave me joy to know they put a smile not only on Cindi's face but her Mother's as well!  We know she is "free" now and in the loving arms of Jesus, may God help you all through this journey of grief...   Jan Kerr

Mom, This morning I was planning on missing you, but everywhere I look I see you. The kitchen, the bible, the laundry room, the old wringer washer, that old rug scrubber..I thought about plugging it in and letting it drag and bounce me around the floor to make you laugh, thank you for the smiles you gave us this past week..those are the memories I will cherish. On Sundays when I would visit you would always say, "I thought you would be coming" and I imagine that's what Dad said when he saw you. No more watching the glass doors, you are surrounded by loved ones and sitting at the feet of Jesus, but then again, maybe you are rolling out noodles in heaven. God is taking care of us and we all now have the most special angel helping Him.

Mamaw,
Words cannot express our deep sorrow at the news of your passing. We have lost a wonderful Mother, Grandmother, and friend in you.  Your life was exemplary and I am proud that you were my mamaw. We will miss you but we know that our Lord has called his servant home.  Your service to the Lord throughout your life was inspiring to all of those around you and you have taught us and shown us the right path and lived as a shining example to your family and friends.  I know that you are in the presence of our Lord.  You are deeply missed and we will hold you and all you taught us within our hearts.

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.”- Washington Irving

Jane was an awesome lady!  She was kind, funny, but wasn't afraid to give you the what-for when you needed it!  Growing up she was like a 2nd Mom to me!  
God has called her Home to be with Him and Lester, as well as others who have gone before her.  
Jane, your journey is done and you are home. Heaven has one more shining light tonight!

Mrs. Kenney will be missed dearly. She was one of my favorite Sunday school teachers and last year I was able to go and visit her and tell her thank you for teaching me about Jesus. My prayer of peace and comfort are with her family.

You are in our hearts and on our minds. We love you beyond measure and hope that the arrival at your destination was filled with joy and a reunion of friends and family. God bless and strengthen the family left behind as we mourn your passing.  I love you,Mom.  BIG HUGS

Jane, I always found you to be witty and funny and a very smart Lady, always helpful and very well liked.  Over her lifetime she helped thousands during her many years as a nurse.  She will be sorely missed.  But today, she will meet God and take her place in Heaven, reuniting with her husband Lester and her family. Rest in Peace, Jane, your work here is done. It's time to collect your reward in Heaven. God Bless You, dear lady.
