Jennifer Parks Obituary
Walking into Jennifer Parks’ kindergarten classroom, it was easy to tell the Palmdale, California, teacher cared about her pupils.
Students’ handiwork decorated her walls. The teacher kept supplies neatly organized. Her ambitious spirit lit up the room.
Parks was a little more than a month into her third year of teaching when she was shot and killed Sunday in the attack on the Route 91 Harvest country music festival, Westside Union School District Superintendent Regina Rossall said.

I met her in the fifth grade and we became great friends very quickly. She was good at that. If I were on Facebook, I would have seen all the updates that she had died. I just found out. It's weird how we weep and mourn, regardless of time. It's still hard for me to accept--it's impossible for someone with so much life to have her life taken away. Yet, she's still alive for me. I believe in life after death and I can't shake the feeling that she's near. We may have drifted apart but it doesn't change the incredible positive impact she had on my life. Thank you, Jenny. I love and miss you. Clearly, I will never forget you.

To Jenny,
My name is Alex Lai. A couple years has passed since you left this world. I cant imagine the utter grief your family and friends went through after October 1st, 2017. How could a pretty lady like you be gone so soon? Rest peacefully...

I don't know Jennifer or her family or any of the other victims of the senseless tragedy on October 1st in Las Vegas but I do know that God was with each and every one of those victims.
May He wrap His arms around Bobby and their two children and each of the children in Jennifer's classroom that are affected by her passing.
May each one touched by the loss of this sweet soul eventually find comfort and peace.

Sending my deepest sympathies in this very difficult time. Although I never knew Jennifer, I can tell that she was a sweet and amazing person. Her love for children is plain to see and she touched so many lives. Praying for her family, friends, and loved ones.
