This last week has been a difficult one for the Jenson and McElhaney family due to the sudden death of Cheri's sister, Cassandra. Cassandra was Mike's aunt, but they were actually the same age; she being only 6 months older. They grew up together and spent many days playing together, cooking frozen burritos, going to Reams for 10 cent candy, and pulling their money together to buy one big pickle at the movie theater. We all have many happy memories to remember and celebrate her life.

Cassandra has been sick for years, and especially within the last year her health has worsen, but no one expected her to leave us so soon. The hardest part is that Cassandra left behind 3 children under 7. They have handled the loss well, and the family has really pulled together to take care of them. The funeral service was beautiful and many blessings came in from loved ones and the church. We are just blown away by the miracles and love that have been shown.
