‘A long and active life is over. Yesterday was my dad, Jens Erik Jensen, peace after struggling with disease, cancer and eventually a blood clot in the brain. Right to the last he was in the process of planning valgmenighedens general assembly, the grandchildren gymnastikopvisninger and the spring tasks. My father was a rock of calm and an inspiration for others. I’m happy that he got 78 active years. And I am grateful that he was my father. Honor be his memory.’

Jens Erik Jensen will be buried on Friday. 13.30 from Bøvling Valgmenighed. The left states that the media is allowed to come to the funeral, but please respect the privacy.
