A long time ago, a woman named Jenny died, leaving her husband and son devastated. This woman's sister, Anna, stepped in to take care of the child and later married his father. Anna and her new husband had five more children, one who's name was Jenny, and many many happy years together. About 30 years ago Anna made a beautiful wedding cake for a young man and his new wife- elaborately decorated with tiny pink and blue flowers. 20 years later, on her 87th birthday, the daughter of this nice young man, also named Jenny, married Anna's grandson James. 8 years after that, James and Jenny named their first daughter Annabelle.
On Sunday, at the age of 96, this wonderful woman, our grandma Anna Malmberg Mathews passed away. She was a strong and kind woman with a heart of gold. She spent many years working as a nurse at the old hospital in Logan, Utah on the labor and delivery floor. She now joins her sister Jenny, daughter Jenny, son Dean and husband Grant in paradise. She is loved dearly and will be missed.

What a sweet tribute! And now I know the meaning behind your name and Annabelle's. How neat! It's past midnight though, so I had to read it several times to follow. Ha ha!
