She is preceded in death by her father, Louis J. Albert formerly of Boca Raton, Fla.; and mother Carol A. Albert formerly of Boca Raton, Fla.

The world has lost a valiant warrior. Jen had the rare ability to light up a room just by walking in. She was able to put aside her pain in order to make others happy. Her love and her spirit will continue to live on in all who were privileged to know her - and Snyder! "Jeni-Bean", you didn't loose the fight, you won the battle. Time to rest Sweetie. You are missed.

She touched my heart with her brilliant smile and energy. Last Christmas we both happened to be in the toy aisle in the store and she helped me pick out gifts for my grandchildren with such enthusiasm. Cancer has taken one more beautiful soul. I miss you already, Jennifer. Rest easy now sweet girl. My deepest sympathies to your family and friends.

Jen and I were a team with our visiting dogs. It was always enjoyable to visit Parkview with her and Snyder. She will be missed! Please accept my sincere condolences.
