CHRISTMAS UPDATE

Christmas Update

To keep Jenny's profile up over Xmas, boxes of small candles (tea-lights) have been placed in various shops in Richmond, inviting people to take one and light it for Jenny over Xmas. Over 1000 have been distributed so far and they are proving to be very popular as some of the outlets have been asking for more! The candles have been wrapped in clear cellophane with pink hearts and tied with ribbon. Attached to the candle is a small business card with a little poem on one side and Jenny's picture on the other, along with the blogspot details and asking people to light a candle for Jenny. We are so so grateful to a 'posse' of friends who have gathered together on a number of occasions to make these little gifts and distribute them. (One in particular, who has taken the lead and I won't name that person here.....but we are so indebted to you for arranging this). Also on the Xmas tree in the Co-Op where Jenny worked, mock presents have been hung, which have photographs of Jenny on the front of them. Some posters have also been refreshed, with different wording on them, to bring the point home, that Jenny has still not been found. Before Christmas, larger candles will be placed in about 3 of the pubs that Jenny played pool in. These have little miniature posters on 3 sides of each of them, with photo's and little statements.


Don't forget to light a candle yourselves for Jenny over Xmas, keep your fingers crossed and pray that soon, we will get something substantial and positive, as soon as possible in the New Year.

21st Birthday Memories For Jenny.

It is with special memories that we think of Jenny at this time as she would have been 21 years of age on Friday 6th October 2006. She was a gentle, unique young woman who should have been here with us to celebrate this day. Tragically she is not and as our daughter we will carry her in our hearts and minds forevermore.

Jenny was not a difficult teenager though she had her moments; just like any other. Just before Jenny's terrible demise, she had spoken of her aspirations and how she planned to change a few things for the better. She had hoped to go back to college to study environment related subjects, with the aim of gaining a career working outdoors. She was an independent girl and didn't really take to working indoors or in office surroundings. She had found new freedom and mobility with her first car, which she only had for two months. Jenny's views on things were becoming more mature and in short, her wee character was developing and changing into that of a young adult.....she was finding herself. Sadly, that wee character has not been allowed to evolve and she did not deserve to be taken from us all in this way. Someone has taken her life and not even afforded her the basic right of being taken care of properly. We so desperately need to find out where she is.

As parents, we should have been preparing and getting ready for this special time in her life, but instead, we wait and hope that her wee soul will be found so we can take care of her. We also wait for justice to be done for her and we hope and pray that this will come soon.

If you can, wherever you are, light a candle for Jenny on her birthday and leave a message with your thoughts here on this blog........ for "Our Wee Jen" (Even if you have left one before) Thank You.


The Nicholl Family.
