Not sure what to say?

Mitch was not family. Granddaughter Katie (DeRhodes) Parks is missing from list.

I just learned of Jennifer Bosveld's passing. She did so much for so many writers. She is irreplaceable and will always be missed.

Jennifer's life and writing were strong models for so many of us journal writers. We will miss her and continue her voice through our own work. My blessings to her family.

My sympathies to all the wonderful family and friends of Jennifer...

Jennifer demonstrated the life of a true Christian. Her concern and support for those in need has always been inspiring to see. She was a warm and caring person whom I'm grateful to have known,

I met Jennifer when she volunteered at Suicide Prevention. (We don't disclose volunteers when they are active due to confidentiality.) We had many exciting adventures. She was so very kind, patient and loving. Jennifer had a sense who needed love and affirmation. She knew who to give both ceaselessly and without conditions. Soar with the angels. Oh my gosh I miss you.

Rest in the peace that you worked so tirelessly to create, Jennifer. Your poetic light will continue to shine. We won't forget you.

Thanks, Jennifer, for your life and work. I didn't know you well, but you are missed.

Jenifer's poetry provided her guiding spirit, incisive social commentary, infectious humor, and jazzy voice.
She was a loyal friend, mentor, and brilliant editor whom I will miss dearly.
