Jo Cannon wrote a sympathy message

“For many years I was the librarian at Rivers Middle School. Jenny's classroom was next door to the library. I saw her everyday. She was always smiling and welcoming to me as a new teacher at Rivers. I considered her as a good friend. I am sorry to read that she has passed. I wish I could go back to the wonderful days we were next to each other. Jo Cannon”
