    My parents were both CP bus drivers as well and I rode Jenita’s bus #5 many times in the late 70’s. I am sorry to learn of her passing. Blessings on the Neff family today as they begin the difficult task of saying goodbye.

    Jenita will be so missed, but remembered for all her kindness and happiness. I spent so much time at your house growing up. She was a second mom, who was always smiling and happy to see us come in the door.
