Not sure what to say?

So sad to hear of Jennifer's passing.. Alexandra was in her 1st grade class at St Michaels 9 years ago and always remembered her and also recalled when Eric would bring his telescope and they would both be so enthusiastic about all of the kids learning astronomy... I was also.a room parent and appreciated all of the incredible hard work Jenn put into her teaching these children even after she moved to another school... She will be missed by all~ May peace be with your family during the months...

Now there is a new Angel, in the Heavens above, watching over us, with all of her love.
You may look to the Heavens, among the stars, but she will be walking beside you, wherever you are.
Jennifer, we will cherish the times you spent in our home, as a young lady and friend. You were like a part of our family.
R.I.P. dear friend.
Our condolence, to all of the family.
Sincerely, Cindy Lay, Dottie Price, Debra Williams, Nina Lucero, & Brenda Price

I had just met Jenni and my prayers are with her family and her students at Indian Oasis Elementary School.

To Jennifer's family- I didn't know her personally, only words through a friend. What's been said about her is her joy for teaching and joy for life! I'm so sorry for your loss. May peace find your broken hearts. And I know "Dorothy" will be sorely missed. <3

Jenny was the best 20th birthday present an aunt could have received. I remember her as the flower girl at my wedding and hearing quiet laughter of friends and family as she twirled at the altar, basket and all. She was so full of joy and love then and she continued to spread that sweetness and joy as she continued into life. She was a very special person that all will miss dearly. May the Lord take you in his arms and comfort you. Aunt Mary Jo

Dear Eric, Brand and Kitty,
I hold you all up in my prayers every day. Please know that you are loved and supported from this corner. Wish I could be there for Jenn's service, but I will certainly be wearing pink and watching the streaming video. The kids and I have so much sympathy and love for you in your road ahead. God is faithful, absolutely.

Dear Kitty, Brand, Michaela, Eric, Peter and Don. I'm so sorry to here of Jennifer's passing. Sudden and so young with so much to give as she did her whole life. God bless her soul and you for your love and caring. She'll be missed dearly. Proud to be her Uncle, Jim Menning
