Jeff and children, I was in shock twice on wednesday 6/19. First the news of Peter cardone's passing, then of Jennifer's. What a shame, two wonderful people and classmates have left us.
Gohn children, May god comfort you in this very difficult time. Be strong and know that your mom is watching over you. She will always be with you every step of the way, believe it. My prayers are with you all. God Bless

Dear Gohn Children,
I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mom, was a very beautiful girl and became very popular among her classmates at Glens Falls High School. It didn't matter who you were or where you were from. She was thoughtful and kind to all of us. I had the pleasure of seeing your mom many times over the last 30 years. Several times as neighbors on Webster Avenue, at the grocery store, at Sutton's having lunch and at Dr. Eigo's office. We shared many stories of our families. ...

Jeff, Family and Close friends,
It has been many years since I saw Jenn but she had just had the triplets. She hadn't changed a bit from high school and she greeted me with those big sincere eyes and that beautiful honest smile. Jenn was always a joy to be around in high school.... now she will be watching over all of us and hoping that we continue to smile.
Jeff - I'm so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Denise (Surprenant) Roycewicz

My fondest memories of Jen will be of her in her flower gardens. To this day I still have flowers blooming in my yard every year that came from those gardens and I will remember her always with happy memories when I see them. She was taken too soon from this world but will ge a guardian angel for her children forever.
