I hope that when you think of us, a part of you, we'll always see." ~Author Unknown~ Jenny is survived by her parents Donna and Fred Johnson; her sons Jaden Frederick and Xavion Ja'Shon; Grandmother, Valerie Showers; aunts and uncles Wanda and James Cunningham, Darrell and Helen Showers, Allen Showers, Carrie and Dale Sanford, and Dennis Showers.
