I send my deepest sympathies again to Lisa, Summer's mother, and want her to know that I will always cherish the experience of teaching Summer; and, subsequently, over the years corresponding with this extraordinarily gifted young woman and unforgettable spirit.

Bob,
Peace will come and Jesus Christ can help you through these unexplainable challenges.

Just know your friends are here when you need to vent or a friend just to listen.

We are praying for you Bob!

Summer came to my home when my husband passed on Nov 15 this year. I was so upset and she asked me if I wanted a hug. She was so sweet and beautiful. She was an angel to me and I will never forget her! My sincere condolences to her family

I am devastated to learn of the death of my former student in Cambridge, England, Summer Jenkins. She was an extraordinarily insightful student of History, a striking and vibrant young woman who was gifted at many things- creative writing, music, marathon running, she was even learning Japanese when I last saw her in 2017 on a trip to Cambridge with her mother. I send Lisa my deepest sympathies and will never forget Summer.
