Not sure what to say?





I will never forget Jen's beautiful smile. She lit up a room whenever she entered it. I will never forget her. Breaks my heart that her boys lost their wonderful mom. I know Carol lost her baby & will be forever missing a piece of herself. Her strength is amazing. Sending all my
love to her friends & family.

I'm sorry to hear of Jen's passing. Sense the third grade when I first met her, she was one of the nicest I had met there. Even in time as many people had changed, Jen had always remained that good hearted person I'd known.
