Not sure what to say?

Jennifer was the first friend I made in Berlin during a posting there. We were browsing at the Marga Schoeller bookstore on Kneseback strasse, off the Ku'dam, and just fell into a conversation about books. A week later we went for a dinner of mussels with Jennifer's husband, Craig Whitlock, and my wife. The friendship lasted all our years in Germany. And Jennifer and my wife stayed in close touch by phone -- their last chat was quite recent. We knew she was ill, but she didn't give details....

I remember she came to our house in Rochester after the Moscow incident and a brief family decompression in Africa. Best to all the family during these sad times and pass on my condolences to Nenel-Paula

Jenny, so sweet and smart, gone too soon. Peace to you CW, and to your son.

Smart, pretty, shy and kind. A good soul from the beginning. Too soon to be called to God. I don't think she ever knew how much she touched everyone who knew her.

Craig, Kyle, John, Jess and Mrs.Toth, I've known dear Jenny for 42 years. From the day she approached me on a sunny spring day at BCC High-school. Her gentle eyes and genuine spirit touched my heart and we became dear friends from that moment. My heart grieves so deeply for you, her family. She touched our lives in the thoughtful ways she let us all know we were important to her and that we were deeply loved. She had such a brilliant mind. She was a peace maker, insightful and gentle...

My respect and love for Jennifer still is great,after all these years on Primrose St. She was the example that I always pointed out to my children of how we should treat each other! She was a good example of sooo many good qualities. I thank God for the gift of this wonderful person and will miss her. Joan Gaul

I went to Leland and BCC with Jenny but only got to know her when in law school and just afterwards in the early 1990s. I´ll always remember her as a beautiful soul. I´m sure that everyone that knew her is feeling this great loss. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear this, Jenny was one of my first friends when I moved to Chevy Chase in the middle of 8th grade and I have very fond memories of her at Leland and BCC. I am praying for the whole family during this time.
