Not sure what to say?

I worked with Jennifer. As it turned out we had many things in common that we found out later. We both graduated from UofM, we graduated on the same year and started at Kellogg in the same year (I think almost the same month) She was a wonderful person a good friend and a great coworker. We both loved Michigan football and her last trip to the Rose bowl was a highlight for her. I will continue to miss my friend.

I worked with Jennifer at Kellogg's and she was such a wonderful person. She worked hard but kept her family as the number one importance in her life. She was one of those people who made a positive impact on everyone she met. I feel fortunate that I was able to have known her.

Dear Paul and family,
I am Jennifer's 2nd cousin, daughter of Forrest and Joyce Link. I just wanted say how very sorry we are. I can still remember how happy and beautiful she was at your wedding. That's how she'll be remembered by all. I hope your happy memories of her help you all through this hard time. We wish you well.

I will always have fond memories of my working relationship with Jennifer. She was a dedicated and motivated woman. I know that she enjoyed her career and often talked about the joys of her family, especially her girls. I’ll miss her and think of her throughout the reminder of my days here on earth. I’d like to say thank you to the family for sharing her with us. God bless you and may He watch closely over the girls.

I was a friend of your mom and just heard that she has passed away. These are words that she wrote just before Christmas.

"I definitely have dreams for myself as an individual, but seeing my daughters grow up to become independent, strong and happy is probably my greatest dream. It is so important to me that they believe in themselves, and are unafraid to pursue life with passion. That they live according to what makes them feel happy and fulfilled, and not by what they think is...

Meghann, Allison, and Katelin,
Even though I babysat you girls only a few times, I saw how much your mom loved you. Be sure to remember all the fun times you had together. I just want you to know that she is always looking down on you and you'll always have a special place in her heart.

Mr. Richards,
I am so sorry to hear about your wife. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers every single day. If you ever need an extra hand over the summer, I'd be happy to babysit the...
