My beautiful Mom and her dad, David Jennings. I remember vividly when my brother told my grandpa to try on these glasses and the first thing he said was, "HOLY SHIT!"

My grandpa, David Jennings, died yesterday at age 89. After a long camp session and a day of throwing up, it wasn't exactly the news I wanted to hear upon calling my family in Montana. But, as each minute passes I remind myself that even though its ok to be sad and upset, there are too many wonderful things that my grandfather did and was a part of in his 89 years of life.
11 children, 21 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren--wow! Thank you so much for all that you have done for me, my mother and all of your family. I feel honored to be named Jennings after your family name. Grandpa, I miss you already. I'll miss feeding Tinkerbell banana's with you, hearing you order your fries CRISPY and playing hundreds of games of gin with you. I'll carry all of our memories with me forever. Sending my love to Margaret.
Always, Jennings
Thinking about you and your fam. Love you to the moon and back. xoxo
