Jennifer's portrayal of Bernadette was the singular pivotal influence that led me to a fervent Marian devotion and formation in our dioceses Permanent Diaconate Program. If I am ordained on June 5, 2021, I will have her to thank.

Since You Went Away, Jennifer Jones, this world has suffered a loss. Thank you for the kindness you so freely shared and taught. Your beauty that you so freely shared will never be forgotten and you will always be admired and adored. You are a shinning light of goodness and grace. I regret I never had the opportunity to touch your hands or hear your voice. I know you are basking in the Glory and presence of The Lord. We miss you.

For Jennifer...
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

The only movie of Jennifer's I ever saw was "The Song of Bernadette." It was beautiful, and her portrayal of St. Bernadette was very moving. To be able to move from Song of Bernadette to the very different role she played in "Duel In The Sun" required far more than ordinary talent. We have lost a great artist in Jennifer Jones.

Jennifer Jones made Portrait of Jenny, Duel In The Sun, and The Song of Bernadette into timeless classics. The ladies she portrayed came alive through the passion she put into each role.Psalm 37:29 tells us the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell therein forever.

Jennifer Jones was an extraordinary actress. Everyone should see her performance in Since You Went Away.
She was so genuine and heart-warming. Her co-star was Robert Walker and they were very good together. I am so grateful that I will always be able to see her in her movies.

Mr. Robert Walker, I loved your mom in Man in a Grey Flannel Suit. I am so sorry for your loss but thanks be to god for her long productive life and perserverance in particularily overseeing the museum.

I was a young girl when I first saw Jennifer Jones in The Song of Bernadette. I sat spellbound and forever after I knew the name Jennifer Jones and made it a point to watch any movie she starred in. She was so convincing as Bernadette and made me "feel" what was happening to the her. I also loved her in Love is A Many Splendored Thing. She brought the viewer to tears as we shared the emotions the character was feeling. I wish I could see Song of Bernadette right now! Haven't seen it listed in years.
Ms. Jones was a great actress and I can't think of another who has made me actually experience the character's emotions. When I heard of her passing I also said "awww" and immediately and image of her as Bernadette, on her knees praying with radiant face lifted to heaven and rosary in hand. That movie, SHE, inspired me. Beautiful woman, beautiful life. God Bless her family and bring them comfort.

Mr. Robert Walker, there are no words to say for your loss. I was sadden when I read of your mothers death. She was one of if not my favorite actress. As so many has said Duel in the Sun was my favorite with Gregory Peck, but Ruby Gentry, Farewell to Arms, Love is a Many Splendor Thing were all classics. May God Keep you and Bless you through this difficult time.

I have fond memories of watching the outstanding performances of Jennifer Jones in films I loved as a boy and young man.

As a child, I remember watching Ms. Jones in "A Song of Bernadette. I thought she was wonderful in that moving. I was very moved by her performance. When my youngest daughter, Allison, was trying to decide what saint's name to use for her confirmation; I told her about that movie. We researched Bernadette and Allison decided to use her as her saint. I am very sorry to hear about her passing. I send my condolences to her family and friends.

I am so sorry for the lost of Jennifer, but she will live for a long long time with the wonderful movies she made. My husband's favorite two are " A Duel in the Sun" and A Farewell to Arms". My is " A Song of Bernadette". I would die happy, if I could make half the impact of emotions on people that she did. Thank you, Jennifer, for the memories. When I see those movies I will remember watching them with my husband and how he made fun of me crying so.

One of my very favorite movies is The Song of Bernadette. I chose Bernadette as my Confirmation name and have always had a special devotion to her and Our Lady of Lourdes. Jennifer Jones' portrayal of Bernadette was so authentic and believable. I could not imagine anyone else in the role. Rest in peace....

It is sad that we lost the beautiful actress Jennifer Jones, but I imagine that she was met in heaven by her fellow film-star luminaries . . . to be a film star of the era for which she is famous means that you go on being a film-star forever! And that is something that few experienced and the rest of us can only wonder about and be grateful for! God Bless you Jennifer! Nadine Battaglia, Lake Luzerne, New York

Jennifer Jones was a soulful and magical actress. She seemed to pour her entire being into each part. On top of that she was incredibly beautiful.
I watched Song of Bernadette at least once a week for years. Duel in the Sun may have been my favorite.
I send my prayers to her son, Robert.

There will never be another Jennifer Jones, so talented, so beautiful. My favorite and often wondered why she never got an Academy Award for Duel In The Sun, Mrs. Bouvier and I might add a couple others she so deserved also. RIP Jennifer, time with many might erase memories of you, but for me,your devoted fans and your family, never.

Ms Jones has been one of my favorite actresses since I became interested in movies. Contrary to most opinions, one of my favorite movies was "A Farewell to Arms." Granted it was too long for the content, but I think Jennifer Jones was superb and gave a spectacular performance. It is a shame the movie critics did not notice it. Whenever one of her films are on, I always watch them and I will continue to do so. She was one of a kind and will not be replaced. J. Humes, Harrisburg, PA.

Dear Family,
I am sorry that Jennifer passed away. I remember the many wonderful movies that she starred in. I too have lost loved ones in death. What has given me comfort are the words in the Bible that tell us that soon "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." (John 5:28,29)
Revelation 21:1-4 assures us that there will be no more outcry nor pain. The former things have passed away. What a beautiful world that will be.
I hope this has given you comfort in your time of sorrow.
Sincerely,
