Speaking of the special moment that made her and her dad cry, the Today star said: "My dad picked me up in a pick-up truck – in his pickup truck – and he said, 'You look beautiful, baby.' And then we both just wept."
Of the happy day itself, Jenna added: "I remember seeing Henry clearly, standing there at this cross that my dad had helped build for us. It's still there, so we have our Christmas services there that we put together. Our kids have gotten to stand on it."
