Jenny was a great girl that I cared for very much. Her passing on New Year's Eve 1983 has had a profound impact on my entire life. I think of her often and wish she was with us today. She was a very funny and fun girl to hang out with. I remember she planned and pulled off a surprise birthday party for me just after I turned 16. She managed to get me out of the house to go to a movie in Frederick. Only half way to Frederick she says "I have to use the restroom, can we go back to your house". I said "Jenny we are right near this gas station, I will pull in". She looks at me and says "no, no I have to poop and can't go at a gas station". Now understand, I am 16 and in the very early stages of dating a very pretty girl and already nervous. So needless to say I was a little shocked and taken back by this "I have to poop" statement. So I turned around, drove back to my house and got the surprise of my life for my birthday. Jenny and I laughed about it all the time. She was a great girl - just great.
