Carroll & Doris, Jim, Brandon, Shim,
I am very sorry to hear about Jennifer's passing. She was a delightful person.
Try to let all of the good times and memories outshine and overshadow your pain. Jennifer could definitely make you laugh, as well as entertain with her dancing. She was an awesome Mom and a hard working woman. God evidently has a big plan for her and I'm sure she is an angel looking down upon you now. I'll be praying that God comforts you all as the days go by.

Jennifer's family:
I wish that I had the right words to say that would give you comfort and ease your pain, but I do not. I have thought about Jennifer a lot these past few days, from elementary school, through high school and watching our children play baseball. I too have admired Jennifer's courage and strength through the past few years. I do not think I could have handled her situation and stayed as upbeat and positive as she did. Yesterday, after the rain had passed through, I heard thunder and looked out my window to see the sun shining. I could just imagine Jennifer in heaven with the angels flatfootin', and smiling from ear to ear. She's made it to the Heavenly Hoedown!! You go girl! Rockytop forever. I will be thinking about all of you during this difficult time and just ask that you share your memories and she will always be with you. Love to all,
Robin King Thompson

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Jennifer was such a sweet, loving girl, always smiling and enjoying life. She was taken from us too early, but I guess God needed another angel and he definitely got one. Jennifer will be greatly missed but always in our hearts.
