[Magdalen] Jennifer Durand+, RIP

[Ginga Wilder]

Rest eternal grant to her, O Lord. May Jennifer rest in peace with all the
saints in light.

My friend Carol sent me the rector's note earlier this morning.  Jennifer
was truly remarkable, rising above her debilitating illness,  I know you
will miss her, Grace.  Prayers for all who grieve.
