A special thank you to Jenny's friends and colleagues at Hamilton City Council for their exceptional support.

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and the days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

Theo, I was so sorry to read of Jenny's passing.
It is many years since I last saw you both but the vibrancy you both shared for life certainly never went unnoticed. Hold fast to those wonderful memories.
Kind regards Levern Thomas

I am so sorry to hear of Jenny´s passing. I have fond memories of our time at Rotowaro and attending pony club with Jenny, who took me under her wing and taught me so much about horses and riding. She was a talented rider in her own right. Her big personality and warm heart will never be forgotten. Rest peacefully Jenny. Xx
