I will always remember all the fun we used to have going out dancing and how caring Jennifer was, she always did her best and thought outside of the box to help children learn all they could. Jenn used to say " children are like sponges and they will grow up to be good adults if we teach them good things and make learning fun for them". I am so blessed to have worked with Jenn, she will be sadly missed, our prayers are with her family. Mary and Bob you are wonderful parents who really raised God gift to you to be a wonderful and caring teacher and friend. Much love and prayers. Shalmar, kasandra and Keegan.
