  2. Dave and Jo Ann, Derrick, Donna, Tony, Sam and Alexa,

    We are so sorry to hear about Jennie. What an inspiration she has been through the years to so many people. If only each of us would live our lives with such enthusiasm!

    Richard and I remember when we first started to Snow Hill in late 1972 or early 1973, not long before Floyd passed away. They were one of the first couples that we met, Jennie with her hair in a french twist and Floyd with a wonderful smile!

    Please know that each of you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

    Love and Prayers,
    Richard, Karen and family

  5. Dear Dave and Jo Ann,

    I was so sad to read of Jennie’s passing. She is truly one of my first and longest memories of ‘grown ups’. In my heart and mind, Jennie and Floyd (and so many others at Snow Hill) had a hand in my upbringing. Whatever is good in me is so much due to their love and influence. I think she was the first ‘fiesty’ lady I knew! It was an honor to know her! My love and prayers to all of you.

  16. Dear Friend,

    I apologise if you find this mail a surprise. I have to reach you in such an urgent manner because of the urgency of this matter.

    I am Dr.RICHARD ANUCHA, the representative of Karah Agricultural matters in the republic of Togo house of parliament. This is from the recent incident of the death of our president (PRESIDENT GNASSINGBE EYADEMA OF THE REPUBLIC OF TOGO )which happened at the early hours of 05/02/2005.

    I should call it an opportunity from God that I was allocated the amount of US$7Million Dollars on the 03/02/2005 for Agricultural development project at Karah district of my country before the sudden incident of the death of our president after a week gap. I do not wish to use this way to embezzle my country’s agricultural project fund but I took it as an opportunity from God since only me, the late president and the minister for agriculture which is my brother inlaw knows about this money. His son has been elected the new president and soon every administration will be reshoveled and likely I will be affected.

    Please I want you to help me in this matter as I have already made it easier. I want to get this money out of my country and out of the entire African continent. As a member of the parliament, I know that there will be no hugh transfer from banks till further notice by the new president. I have tried to package the money into a trunk box and have deposited it in a security company here through my brother inlaw. The box is rigth now at the security company but the company do not have the idea of it’s real content because it was deposited as family effects.

    You will be rewarded handsomely,so please do not be afraid to handle this business for for our joint investment. I ‘m assuring you that this business is absolutely risk free.

    Thanks.

    Dr.RICHARD ANUCHA.
