The rhododendron that grew outside your house is now gone. Now I drive by and look at your bedroom window, hoping desperately that somehow you're there. Oh, how I wish you were. I love you dearly.

Jennifer, it warms my heart to when I read all the messages written to you and recall the heartfelt stories shared by others at your service. You were such an amazing and caring person. I am so proud that you are my daughter. I miss you every day and wish that I could hear your voice or see you smile just one more time. I will always love you!

I stayed with you back in Ketchikan while our dads were underway 1999-2000. You kept me company when i was afraid. I still to this day think about you walking me to the bus stop. I remember always talking about the smell after the rain every time it was sunny.
You left a permanent impression to me that i always found myself being reminded of throughout the years.

Tonight, and for many nights previous you have been in my thoughts more than usual. I think about who you were and who you would be if you weren't taken so suddenly. I wish you could meet my daughter. Shes beautiful, smart and so funny. I know she would have loved your fun free spirit. She seems drawn to people who remind me a bit of you...I wonder if maybe you had a little chat with her before she came into this world and she knows who you are and how much I miss you, and that is why she brings so much joy to me. My heart is aching tonight because I miss you so much, but I just hold Fate close to me and it makes it a little easier. I love and miss you <3

I still think about you every day and wish i could see you again. You had such a passion for life and a spirit that can never be duplicated. You left us way too soon! I miss you and will always love you!! Keep smiling down on us.

Today is Ks birthday and I found your name in her google search. I so badly wish you were with us then and now. Even as time passes the pain still remains. We love you forever beautiful girl.

So many people loved you - that is most obvious. Although we never met, I feel like I know you through the memories you left behind with those loved ones. You are always in our prayers.

Almost 3 years and the pain is still there. We are all struggling with your loss and some days are much harder than others. Your dad is in a lot of pain and is struggling more than the rest of us. Please be with him and help us to comfort him.

Dear Jennifer,
I am visiting this site out of respect for your memory to your father. He loved you so much; he misses you and thinks of you daily. He is hurting right now and I don't know how to help him. He needs your sweet spirit to make it through the tough times ahead. Please send him peace and love.

Jen, I love you very much. You were my only true best friend. I think about you everyday and everyday the pain gets less and less but your memory will always be with me. Remember that pact we made? Even now that you're gone I know that you kept it till the end. I love you very very much and you will always be a part of me. You were the best and even now that you're not here, you're still my very best friend. I love you with all my heart, Jen.

Jen, As I walk through our home I see photos of you everywhere. On the walls on the mantle and on the computer screen saver. It hurts to see you for a moment then I remember how special you were. Also it is comforting to me to know that I will be seeing you again someday when it is my time. Your time here was way to short for me and your Grandma Judy. But what do I know, there has to be reason you were called home so early in your life.
You always were good to me and a fine granddaughter. You had so many grandparents but yet treated me the same as if I had always been yours. I first met you when you were 4 ½ years old and remember our first time we met. We love you!
Grandpa Bob

Jennifer,
I cannot tell you in words how special you were to me. That specialness will always remain with me in my memories and in my heart. You were always such a sweet and gentle person. I am so thankful that you have been a part of my life. God truly gave me a blessing the day you were born. And God is also blessing me now with having the wonderful memories I have of you that will stay with me the rest of my life. You are my precious Granddaughter and I will miss you so much, but I know I will see you again in heaven. My love for you will never cease. I love you my beautiful Granddaughter. See you again later.
Love,
Grandma

I miss the days that you walked with me,
I'll never forget, and I'll always be your friend,

You were a great best friend and i will never forget the years we spent together and what you have done for me. I will never forget the first time we met in 8th grade and the last time we talked almost 2 weeks ago... Im sorry i couldnt go to your funeral, which sucks this had to happen right when i moved out of state. Im really sorry and i hope your mom and gina will make it through and be strong. Just know i'll always be your best friend and i will always love you very very much..

Jen,
You were so wonderful to me and to everyone. Why you had to go is away from my mind, but it has happened and I must learn to accept that God took you for a reason. I believe that reason was to shine new light on lives that don't realize that life is so short and unpredictable, and we all are so mortal. You left us all with a piece of you forever.
Raychel Ferguson

Your funeral was so hard for me and for so many other people that loved you. I'll miss you and you'll always been in my heart. You taught me so many lessons. You lived your life with such passion and you lived in the moment. Your life was so short but you made the most out of it. I'll always remember you. You're free. Thank you for teaching me that life is precious and that i need to make the most out of whatever time i have left. Rest in peace Jen baby.

Until then, I'll be missing you.

Jennifer,
We've had our share of good times and bad times, but I could never have asked for a better daughter than you. In life, I loved you more than you could ever imagine, and that love will never cease to be. Our time together was much too short, but I'm grateful for the memories that you have left for me to cherish in the coming years. I will always remember your kind heart, playful spirit, and generous nature. I'm proud to say that you were my daughter.

Jenny, I love you and miss you so much! You have always, and will continue to be very special to me.
One of the memories that has come to mind this last week is our trip to the movies to see The Dukes of Hazzard Movie. You didn't know what is was about, and when I told you it was a show your dad and I use to watch, you said "Aunt Carol, you are getting old." It still makes me smile.
Love Always,
Aunt Carol
