I'm not so great with words here so I'll just say that I miss you Jenn. I didn't know you outside of the Radiology office but you are one of those people that just touched everyone around you. I think about you all the time, you've left quite a lasting impression and a great one at that. Besides, who is going to laugh like a goon watching Super Troopers and Family guy with me now! Hopefully they will allow us to watch Grandma's Boy beyond the Pearly Gates because we didn't get to finish that one the last time you were here! Much love to you and your family and may God Bless!

I only knew Jennifer for a few years but in those years she made me laugh everytime I saw her. She came to me to get her scans done and I looked forward to her appointments everytime. She was upbeat and wonderful to be around. I will truly miss her and her stories of her husband and family.

I was saddened to hear of Jennifer's passing. I knew her as a young girl when she was a student at Countrywood school. I did not have her in my class but I did have her husband, Chris, as well as her sister, Heather and brother, Jason in my class.
I am presently in Florida and just recently heard the sad news. Please accept my deepest sympathy to the Matthews and Eppich families. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the privilege of knowing Jen and although we hadn't spoken for some time, I have nothing but good memories of the beautiful person that she was. My deepest sympathies are with the Eppich and Matthews families, especially Chris who I know has been through so much. I will remember her always.

I am so sad to hear of Jennifer's passing. I went to high school with her and I remember her as a sweet and fun loving girl. My thoughts and prayers are with the Matthews and Eppich families. I know the effect that this disease has, as my very dearest friend is currently enduring a battle with breast cancer. I will remember to dedicate my volunteer efforts to Jen's memory. Rest in peace.

I'm not a friend or a relative, but I am a 40 year old survivor living with Stage IV Breast Cancer, and while searching for a friends father's obituary, I came across Jennifers and am so very saddened she lost her life to such a horrific disease at such an early age.

Although we didn't know each other, she is a "sister" in a club none of us want to belong to. Please know many of us on the most wonderful support board will be praying for her family and are proud to have a young lady that was such a strong fighter up in Heaven watching over all of us.

Blessings to all that loved her.

We are so saddened by the loss of Jen and hold Chris and all her family and friends in our thoughts and prayers. Jen was such a good friend to our daughter, Adriane and our son-in-law, Michael. She adored their son, Aiden, now 9 mos. old. Her sweet smile and zest for life will be missed by all who knew her and loved her. Here is a picture of her holding Aiden on 10/26/08

I am privileged to have known Jen and watch her grow from a baby to a beautiful woman. Her courage and strength through this illness has revealed an inner beauty. How much we can learn from Jen. May the Lord continue to give the family His Grace and strength.

Jennifer was truly an inspiration to many people who adored her and looked up to her. She demonstrated and unbelievable amount of courage and strength throughout her battle and will truly be missed. But her remarkable personality and beautiful smile will never be forgotten.

A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
and for a brief moment it's glory
and beauty belong to our world...
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all
