Hi Jenny,

I too was thinking of you this past weekend as most of the crew was too. We had a wedding ceremony on Saturday, it was raining. It wasnt until one of our new crew members asked his newly departed dad to stop the rain that it finally did. The next morning (Sunday) was sunny and beautiful. I know both you and Norm helped with that, thank you. We all miss you a lot and think of you often. Dyllan is a beautiful little boy, a true tribute to his mom, a beauty herself.

Loretta Milbrandt

June 10, 2009

Hey kiddo, We were all together on Sunday. I can't believe it's been a year already. Dyllan is getting big, though you already know that. I know you visit him often. A day never goes by that I don't think of you or talk to you. As I always told you and still do, I love you more than life itself. Miss you.
Love Mom & Dyllan

It was so great knowing you. You are one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever known. I only wish we had more time to get to know you.

We will NEVER forget you and you son is blessed to have had such a great mother. We all hope to see you again someday when it's our time. Thank you for being such a good friend. We love you!!

To Jennie’s dear family, I do not know you and I did not have the privilege of knowing Jennie, but my heart goes out to you as you begin your journey of grief due to the loss of your dear wife and daughter. Our 22 year old son, Zack (also a Roseville High School graduate, Class of 2003), died in June 2006, and we know the sadness you are feeling. If you ever want to talk with a mom who knows the pain you are going through, you are very welcome to contact me. There is an amazing support group in the Roseville area for families who have lost children. We also have a support group just for moms. We would be honored to provide you with the compassionate support that grieving parents need. You are in my prayers.

I just heard. I am so sorry. I didn't talk to Jennie nearly as much as I had wanted to. I met Jennie through Krystina and Mike and we had much in common, from friend, to work, and faire. Know that Jennie is and will always be well loved, and she was taken way to soon. I will miss her.
love ya always

My beautiful Jennie. You took both mom and dads values, and created a sweet blend. Our life has been touched by your zest, and your humor. We were blessed by your trust and loyalty. We loved being at the private wedding. The time spent these last several months are ingrained for life. Your wonderful husband and awesome son are living tributes to be proud of. The white crane lives forever, as well as the memory of you... You were a blessing in our lives, as well as many others. So much more to say, just at a loss of words. You have a wonderful supportive loving family. We love you always, JJ and your sugar daddy, Hornsby

One's immortality is can not be gauged by the amount of time a person lives, rather how well and full they lived their lives. How many lives they influenced, changed or affected is a better way to determine their importance and thus they are immortalized by our remembrance of who they were. It is our responsibility to make sure others are kept aware of Jennie's life and make sure all the things she believed in are passed on to the next generation and so on. She will never be gone, or forgotten, for she has touched so many lives, and now a bit of her will continue within all of us. Jennie will always be remembered and loved by those whom she met. May she forever fill our hearts with life and love.

I met Jennie when she was in high school. She was in marching band with my son Jay and we both thought the world of her. Although our paths have not crossed again since she graduated, she and her family were never far from our thoughts. She was truly an angel here on earth and now she is an angel watching over her loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
