I was a fellow associate years ago at walmart. Within the short time i knew her.... i saw she was an amazing person. My sincerest condolences goes out to her family. I honestly know how you feel and what you all are going through. I know most people say that but i have actually gone through this situation and still going through it. I lost my fiance whom i was with for a little over 6 years on 11/1/2008. We have a little girl who just turned 5. So i do understand what a difficult time it is. Again i am really sorry for your loss. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you wish to talk.

Jennifer was always a good friend to Chrys and myself. I wish I had the right words to say, but I know from experience that there really aren't any. I will miss the talks that we used to have and will keep your family in my prayers.
