I just read the sad news in the Brandeis alumni magazine. Jennie and I were suitemates her sophomore and my senior year. We shared a love of theatre, but Jennie was determined to be a lawyer. That was rare among our generation, and it made a big impression on me, particularly since she was so beautiful and kind. I am so glad to hear that she achieved her goal and put it to good use. She never knew it, but she inspired me to apply to law school several years later and ultimately to have a long career as a public sector lawyer. I would never have thought about that until I met Jennie.
My condolences to Dan and her family.

My dear neighbour, friend, and colleague(lawyer as well),
is so dearly missed as one of the most compassionate and smartest/intelligent persons I have ever met in this life. Bless Jen and her family--always.

Dan, I hope this entry brings you a little laugh.
I knew Jennie while at Brandeis. She spelled her name the same as my mother did.
Jennie was in my roommate's creative writing freshman course.
There was a woman who often visited us and spent more time during her visits that I wanted her to.
There was a knock on our door. I told my roommate I didn't want to talk to that woman. So I dived under the bed to hide. Then Jennie walked in.
Obviously, I couldn't come out from under the bed. She would have thought I was crazy. So I stayed there not making a sound. My roommate also had a sense of humor. So, he dropped himself down to sit on the bed, nearly crushing me. Jennie stayed and talked for a while with me under the bed. When she left, I crawled out. My roommate was in hysterics. I felt like a fool.
But, Jennie never knew.
I remember her as a cind and sweet person. Reading about her, it sounds like she remained that way.
I am so sorry for your loss.

In fall 1997, Jennie taught me international human rights law at Queens University. She can take credit for introducing me to a subject upon which I’ve built much of my career. Jennie was enthusiastic, funny, and very kind. Her classes were among the highlights of my week. I was shocked to learn that Jennie was unwell. My condolences. John Done, lawyer, Kingston, Ontario

Jennifer was one of those rare intellectually brilliant, determined and driven, yet so compassionate
and most generous people that one should only be so lucky to meet and know in this short life here.

My heart felt condolences to the family. Jennie coached me at Queen's
Law School for an international law moot which was such a formative experience for me and helped me enormously in my legal career. I wish you strength at such a difficult time. May your memories help you to deal with such a tragic loss. All my very best, Janice Wright
