I am so happy that you and your family has made the commitment to share stories, wine and laughter in order to keep the memories of your wife close. I know that these stories can keep her with you for many years and bring back the images of her as she smiles and laughs with you. As many have posted, I didn't know your wife, and am very wishful that I had. Laughter is a wonderful, homemade medicine. Here's to Jennifer, and may God bless your family.

I did not know Jennifer at all. I just wanted to say that I lost my mom almost 3 years ago to cancer. Her Obit was the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. Jennifer's obit completely fit how my mom would have wanted hers to be. I am very sorry for your loss and I truely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the much needed laugh I got from reading it.

For some silly reason I always called her Jenny Fur She thought it was funny. She was a kind, compassionate, caring,person and she knew it took a lot more effort to frown than to laugh & smile. Only God knows how many lifes she touched in a very positive way. Just thinking about her makes me smile. My thoughts & prayers are with the family.

I didn't know Jennifer at all but I found myself smiling really big as I got further down the story...and isn't that what she really wanted?? Smiles instead of tears :) Well, Jennifer, Heaven has a special angel today - one that is smiling..
