Dear Jane: You wrote, from the heart, >Jenny doesn't know me any more. She is such a sweet person she didn't >deserve this.

I can only add that the group IS a memorial to Jenny, and you are her "spokesperson " now that she can't speak for herself. It is painful and really scary to see this happen to someone, and I hope you can find the strength to carry on the group, as I'm sure Jenny would want. ...not only for her, but for the others it will benefit, and for yourself.
