Jenny's mother?


It really doesn't affect the plot, but I was wondering if they said what happened to Jenny's mother. Perhaps it's in the book, which I haven't read.

The book explains that the mother died when Jenny was a little girl. Oliver as the narrator of the book explains how Jenny wore a small crucifix on a neck chain even though she was an atheist, because the crucifix was her mom's.

I think they mention the cross in the movie too. Did the mother die of the same illness?

As in the movie, they never come out and say exactly what Jenny's illness is, although most people infer that it's leukemia. No mention about what the mom had,
