The time I spent with Jennifer was short when we were children. She was my cousin by marriage. I remember her as being a very sweet girl. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike, Shane and the rest of Jennifer's family.

I learned of Jen's passing this week and wish to offer John and her family my most sincere and heartfelt sympathies. Jen was a wonderful woman and the world is a lesser place without her.

Jen was with out a doubt the strongest person I know. She was a leader, the one we looked to for advice, comfort, and a good laugh. She was the kind of friend that when you were sad, she showed up with flowers and kind words, a few funny little jokes and the next thing you knew, you felt better. I loved her sense of humor and her little funny catch phrases. They were the silliest and I find myself quoting her often.

Jen had a sparkle in her eyes that drew you in and a kindness that warmed your heart. I loved her the minute I met her. I'll never have another friend quite like her and I will miss her to the end.

All my love to each of you- John, Onieta, Mal, Kara, Mike, Shane and the rest of the Sheehe, Schoen and Covert families.

Sincerest Condolences

December 14, 2010

My life is better and brighter for having you in it. No one could make me laugh quite like you could. There is a whole in my heart but I know you are watching over us girls now. Rob and I feel so honored that you got to celebrate with us in September. We love and miss you, lady. K.N.O.

John and family,

I am more sorry for your loss than I can convey. I met Jen in the underground rock community in Rochester; during the time I spent in the city, I knew her as a vibrant, warm, forthright and funny personality, and one half of a mutually loving partnership with John. I can't imagine how difficult the last months were for her and everyone close to her; I sincerely hope that in time you're able to find some peace in your memories of the better times and the person who (undoubtedly) continued to shine through to the end.

Dear John and Family,
From the first time I met Jen, she made a lasting impression on me. I felt I had known her for a long time. Her warmth and kindness were so genuine. I'm so grateful I had the chance to know her. Peace, Mary Ann Noto
