Not sure what to say?

Jenny was my freshman year college roommate and a wonderful woman. I am blessed to call her friend. We reconnected several years back and picked up right where we left off. This photo of our 3rd floor Caz crew - she sent this to me in May when we were reminiscing on those years. My heart is broken to read this. My condolences to her entire family.

Jenny and I were residents together at UCSF. She was a brilliant and compassionate physician. Working an overnight call shift with Jenny would go faster with her humor and quick wit. She exhibited joy and rejoiced in others´ good fortune. I am forever grateful for the love and support she offered around my first pregnancy and the baby shower she hosted for me. Her life was too brief.

I knew Jenny through her work at St Vincent´s hospital. Dr Skillman was a brilliant and dedicated Pediatrician. Condolences to her family
