    Jenny was loved by all and lived her life so well.
    I think she moved to HJ when I was in the seventh or eighth grade. She was one of the fun teachers.
    God rest her sweet soul and bless her family. She will be missed.

    I called her Miss Neichoy for PE class, Coach Neichoy for basketball games and Jenny for later in life when she was my friend. She was all of those and more-what a character. You always knew if you had done something she didn’t like. She would either scream at you at the top of her lungs or just stand there with her hands on her hips and give you the evil eye. It was her fault for trying to make a guard out of a forward. I could shoot but not dribble worth a darn. Life at H-J was never dull with her around. Jenny will be missed. RIP from “one of those Attaway girls”.
