Jennifer had been an election precinct worker in recent years, and I enjoyed working with her several times at the polls.
Her sense of humor made Jennifer ideal company on those long days, and I always looked forward to seeing her.
My condolences to Jennifer's family, friends, and former students.

Jennifer and I were high school sweet hearts, such a generous, gregarious, caring and joyful person. Although I never moved back to Lexington after college, I often returned to visit my family and friends and feel so very fortunate to staying in touch with this wonderful person. My sincere sympathy to her dear family and many friends.
With love and appreciation,

Many fun laughs and memories with Jennifer. She was the only one that would play "Par 3" golf with me. I believe we hold the distinct honor of being asked to leave from three different courses. Love and miss her a lot.

I was privileged to have worked with Jennifer at Morton Middle School in Lexington. Her presence will be indeed missed. I'm keeping her family in my thoughts at this difficult time.
