This recording of Hallelujah, performed by Jeff Buckley, was the intro music at Jenn's memorial. I understand it was one of her favorites.

Not only do they look like sisters but they sound like sisters...
Four generations in this one picture
Laura, Ann, Mark, Jordan, Liam, Corey and Mary Lynn went for a walk in the neighborhood. We picked blackberries along the way. Laura wanted to make a pie to send home with us. Instead, we froze the berries in a bag and packed them in our bags. This is a picture of our second pie. A touch of Bainbridge Island...we recommend serving with vanilla ice cream - yum
