Dear Jacqueline,
I'm so sorry to hear about Jenny. It really came as a shock. We used to live next to your mom on 5908 River Road. I will never forget how Jenny loved playing with her baby dolls and strolling her babies when she was at her Grandma's home. Jenny was always a very sweet girl that was easy to get along with. I know you and her Dad are proud of her. I'm so sorry that you both have to go through losing your daughter that you love so much. My prayers are with all of you. I also would like to express my condolences to her grandma(Mrs. Marek). The earth will surely be missing a wonderful gentle person that will be much missed. If more people were like Jenny we would have one happy world.

Ray, Marishka, Mr & Mrs Davis -- I was shocked to hear the news. Jennifer was always so full of life and fun and laughs. I went to Mary Washington with her and cannot imagine not seeing her again. She was a wonderful friend and even though I was miles away, she was never more than a phone call away. I will miss her smile and her laughter. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Ray and Mr. and Mrs. Davis,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have never lost a child or a spouse, so I cannot possibly know what you are feeling; however, I have lost. It hurts. Somehow, God has a reason for all of this, and we may not know it for years to come. But there is a reason. He loves you and wants you to lean on Him, His people, and each other. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You have my deepest sympathies. I wish I could do something to ease your pain. A child could not have been loved more than you loved Jenny. May God bless you and give you strength at this time. Please know we are always here if you need anything.
