Day Old Child
My day-old child lay in my arms.
With my lips against her ear
I whipered strongly,"How is wish-
I wish that you could hear;

"I've a hundred wonderful things to say
(A tiny cough and nod),
Hurry, hurry, hurry and grow
So I can tell you about God."

My day old baby's mouth was still
And my words only tickled her ear.
But a kind of light passed through her eyes,
And I saw this thought appear:

"How I wish I had a voice and words;
I've a hundred things to say.
Before i forget I'd tell you of God-
I left Him yesterday."

Dear Steed and Pemberton families,
I knew Jenni from high school, and she was a friend of my brothers. I was shocked and saddened to learn of Jenni's passing. She was such a good person, and such a pretty girl. (And, what a darling little baby boy.) May the Lord help lighten your heartache and bring peace to each of you.

I was so sorry to read about your daughter and new grandson. My son Ryan was friends with your daughter in high school. I remember Jennifer coming to our home several times. She was such a bubbly fun girl. My heart goes out to you, her family. I think it breaks every parents heart when they read or hear about such a young child leaving this existance so suddenly. May the many great memories you have of Jennifer give you peace and comfort during the tough times ahead.

Nate and family,

I've been trying to think of the perfect words to strengthen you at this time, but I can't even come up with good words that would be half sufficient. Just know that we love you and that you are in every prayer we pray. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. We wish so badly that we could be in Utah at this time to support you and your beautiful family. We hope you can feel that we're there for you and will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. The most substantial comfort you can possibly receive will come from Christ and his spirit, as you continue to turn to Him, because He understands and loves you like no one else can.

WE LOVE YOU!

Nate, we all feel your loss so deeply. I watched you grow up from a crazy little kid to a grown man, and wonderful husband and father. You and your brothers were the examples for my sons and I so appreciate the influence of your family on all of the neighborhood. I got to know Jenny when she served as the secretary of the Primary while I was president. What a special girl and a wonderful mother. Her smile just made everyone happy! Heavenly Father is aware of you, Nate, and he loves you - as do we all. He will give you strength and guide your steps and you will be in our prayers always.

God bless you,

Dear Pembertons,

Our prayer are with you and your sweet family. We feel so lucky to have know your family and to feel a little the love Jenni so willing gave to so many people.

Jenny had a great effect on our lives. When we were first married and living in Bluffdale I loved watching the interaction between Jenny and her two daughters. I could not wait to have children in hopes that I would have that same joy. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

Nate I know you have a loving Savior who made it possible for us to have our families again and a loving Heavenly Father who seems to be some of the only comfort that comes during these moments of sadness.

Life is tender. Treasure the little things, the hugs, the laughter, and friendships.

We love you Nate and your sweet children.

Love
Nate and Shanny Pilcher

Dear Nate,
I want you to know that I am so grateful for Jenny and the influence she was on my life. She was my very 1st Visiting Teacher when we lived in Bluffdale with you. She was so diligent in coming to see me, and she always had a great message to share with me. When I think of Jenny, I cannot think of a time that I saw her that she was not smiling. What an amazing person and friend she was to so many people and I am grateful that I knew her and I was blessed because of her.

At his time, know that our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Although she is gone from this life, she will always be in our thoughts and memories as a person who was always happy and who valued her cherished role as mother and wife. I remember how proud she was to be able to stay home with her children and how important that was to her. I am thankful for her example to me as a mother.

Dear Pemberton family,

Our hearts hurt for you! Each life seems to lift and help each other. Jennifer was a light to us all.

We love you Nathan and hope you will feel the comforter's influence. Families are forever! We are great fans of your parents George and Ulene and have loved being in the same ward with them the last 17 years.

If there is anything we can do for your family keep us in mind.

We are grandparents of 7 so we have been broken in.

Life is so bittersweet. Thank you for being part of our lives.

Nate, Dakota, Sequoya & Theroryn,

Words can't express the sorrow we feel for your loss. Jenni was a beautiful and amazing woman. She had a gift for making people feel at ease in her presence. She was so easy to talk to, and seemed to always have a smile on her face. From the first time we met her, it felt as if we had always known her. Though it was for too short a time, we feel so blessed to have been able to call her our friend, and honored to have met Broden. We've been awed by the response of so many at this time of tragedy, and see it as a testament to the life Jenni led. The way she followed her heart and lived her faith was an inspiration to us, and to everyone who knew her. We hope your faith provides you comfort in this difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.


With deepest sympathy,

Shane & Jennifer Morgan

Nate, my old friend, I can not put into words how saddened I am by your loss. You are lucky in the fact that you have so many friends and family that love you and care for you and support you. It is comforting to know that you two will be reunited again and that it will last forever. There are also so many good memories. Remember the time we were going to go down to Provo to see her at work, and as you were so famously racing through traffic , the tire came completely off the wheel, that pretty much sums up the good times we shared (reckless fun). You are such a kind wonderful person, if you need anything thing at all, maybe even a joke, I will be there for you my friend.

Nate, I am deeply sadenned by your loss. The first time I met Jenni was when we went to Park City. The instant I met her I loved her. She was so bubbly and fun to be around. Her giggle was contagious. She also seemed to keep you on your toes Nate, but you liked it and you know it! Nate I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you & your sweet little ones at this time. If there is anything we can do to help you through this difficult time, dont hesitate to call. May God bless you & your family. All my love, Melissa Turner

April 4, 2008

Dear Nate,
In our youth, such an unexpected loss is staggering. Only the fullness of the Gospel can bring any comfort, but it does bring comfort and a sure knowledge that Jenni and Broden will be anxiously waiting for you, your children and their future spouses, your eventual grandchildren, all to return to them in Heaven. What a gift is the power of the Sealing. You will surely know a calm and a peace beyond expression as you kneel at the altar of the Temple to be sealed to your sweet Jenni and your beloved Broden on the 12th. Only the Holy Spirit can bring healing, peace and comfort, and He surely will. Our prayers will continue for you and your children long into the future. May Heavenly Father send ministering angels to sustain you. Our love to you and to your family, Larry and Nancy Neilson

Dear Nate & Family,
I want to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Jenni is a sweetheart, and I loved being around her. Our Heavenly Father knows her, and He knows you Nate, and is very aware of you and your family right now. Aren't we very fortunate to know the plan of Salvation, and know that you will be with her again.
"My son, peace unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment, and then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.
Thy friends do stand by thee...with warm hearts and friendly hands.
All my love.
Sincerely,

Dear Pemberton family,
I work at American Fork Hospital and was on duty when your daughter came in. I just wanted all of you to know we fought so hard to save her and her little boy. We were all so sad to hear the news of their passing. She is a beautiful girl, and the little boy was an angel. May God be with you all in this difficult time. Our entire staff will keep you all in our prayers.

Dakota and Seqouya probably dont remember me but I babysat them when they were much younger! I wanted Both of them and Theroryn to especially know how deeply sorry I was to hear of this hard time in their lives! I hope they will always have precious memories of their mom "to make them happy when skies are gray!"
Nate,
my prayers and thoughts are with you as you find strength to overcome the hardship you have faced and will face in the many days ahead! May you always have the peace that comes with the gospel to buoy you up!
