I first met Jenni when Josh started school as a gorgeous 5 year old, at Maranatha, and I was his teacher. Jenni sparkled and shone with the joy of the Lord and was always a ray of light and love when she came into the classroom. Josh and family, I was shocked and so sad to read of your huge loss. Praying for you all. Sue Greenham (was Hansen).

Kia ora John,
I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. During this difficult time, I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. In the short time that I met your wife, I knew she was a remarkable person whose warmth and kindness touched the lives of everyone who knew her.

Though words can hardly capture the depth of loss you must be feeling, please know that you are in my thoughts. Your strength and leadership have always been inspiring, and I hope you find comfort and support in the love of those around you.

If there is anything I can do to help, whether it's prayer support or just a listening ear, please do not hesitate to reach out. Take all the time you need to grieve and heal. Remember that it's okay to lean on others during times like these.

With deepest sympathy and blessings,

Julz

To John and family
We're very sorry to hear of the passing of Jenni. Such a beautiful, loving, caring woman. We were Blessed to have her arrive on our doorstep around 30 years ago, having answered our ad asking for helpers to assist with David's physical therpy program (to help with his cerebral palsy). Jenni was there helping us for years, always lighting up the room and sharing hear heart and care. We're lucky to have known her and will always be grateful for her love. Such a light in this world.
