So sorry to hear of the passing of Jennifet. She was a very kind and caring lady. Despite her struggles she would find something to interest her especially her art work. Her love for her therapy dog Lando was a very special treasure.

I'm very pleased and proud to have known Jennifer. I drove her via CareAVan paratransit to college, work and a number of activities for many years. Later on she invited me to do some art classes for her beloved clients at the ARC. She wasn't a person to just lie back and let life come to her. I deeply admired her spirit from the very moment I met her and onward. The world is a much better place for Jennifer having lived in it. Surely, she is with the Lord now enjoying His presence. My best wishes to her family and friends. She gives you so much to be proud of and many good memories I'm sure. God bless and comfort you.
