We were deeply saddened to learn of your lovely daughter's death. It's so hard to see such a young and beautiful life come to an end. Our daughter also died at the age of 19. So, we know the pain that you are feeling now. You will be in our prayers and I know that God will be with you and guide you during this sad time.

My favorite memory of Jennifer was seeing her with her friend, Katy...

I especially thought it was cute when they were little and talked about boys. Jennifer would say to me after Religious Ed. class, "Ms. Cook, let's talk about boys every week. That was fun."



We, in the Divine Mercy prayer group at St. Margaret Mary, are privileged and honored to pray for the Wilks family. They have touched our hearts and increased our faith.



With love always in Christ.

A friend called me to let me know about Jennifer and her passing. I am so sorry and my prayers and thoughts go to each and everyone of you at this time and always. I viewed her website quite often as I have a niece in remission right now who is 3. Rhonda and I shared alot when I worked at the jewelry store on Tuesdays, about our nieces and the progresses they made with battling cancer. Please remember Jennifer is in the arms of our Heavenly Father enduring her Everlasting peace and salvation.

Dear Wilks Family,



You probably don't know me, but I remember Jennifer and Elaine from Block House Creek Elementary where I was a first and fifth grade teacher. I remember hearing about Jennifer's illness several years ago, and tonight I heard about her passing from my friend, Lori Laws. I just wanted you to know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Your daughter was a beautiful young girl who I know will be greatly missed. Everyone who knew her was blessed to have been a part of her life. May God bless you and give you peace.
