Remembering my beautiful and kind-hearted friend (Jennifer) who was tragically taken away from me in October 2010 at the young age of 36. Not a year goes by when I don't pause to think of our time together and the kindness she showed me. She introduced herself to me and helped me along during a time of darkness when I was living in the United States. It's so unfair and I shan't ever forget her. Life is fleeting and memory can seem like some half-forgotten dream

Jen, I know you’ll be wishing us the best in our current situation. I was just thinking of you the other week “wind blowing through you hair” aka baldie, hypnosis class! Love always, Janice & family xo .

Winter 2008, North Bend, Wa, USA - The day Jen helped me mend my broken heart by taking me for a day trip.

Still remembering Jennifer and our friendship and that I shan't forget her. It just seems so unfair that she was taken away from us, and at such a young age. Strange it feels now that I have surpassed the age she was at the time of her passing. She was quite a bit older than me when we knew one another so it seems like some long-ago dream I once had half-remembered... JEN- I'm just glad that I got to know you and I hope that we are connected in spirit.

Every time I hear the Nightingale song fromTwin Peaks. The hole in my heart opens up again and I'm longing for you. I don't think I will ever be able to shake it off. That you were taken away all too soon straight after my visit to you. I'm still fumbling around down here on the earth to where nowhere seems like home. I'll always carry you with me. Words can never express!

May 3, 2017

I can never forget you. It was so raw when you found me and so is the memory of you. Every time I hear any music from Twin Peaks there's a hole that can't be filled. Not until I see you again x Your very good friend from the U.K -Michael

Jenny bug ~ miss you every day of my life!! So thrilled to have randomly be selected to sit beside you in grad school (per State)clear back in 2005-2008 ~ seems like a life time ago. Just thinking of you right now as one of our stray cats has gone & I know you'd be wishing us well & encouraging me to stick it out until I find her; which I have just can't catch her at the abandon house next door, ha-ha
. I love you dearly & although I don't wish my own earthly time to be cut short ` I do truly look forward to the day that we meet again. Peace & Love always, Janice. :) xo.

I still think of you often. I wonder what you would have said or thought about so many things. You've been gone longer now than I knew you, but the lights are still dimmer due to your absence.

I miss you more than ever. It never goes away. You changed my life, I wish you could see it now. I wish you were here.

I can't believe it's been over two years now. It was uncanny the little life details that we shared in common. Your energy and presence are still felt. You are remembered every time I view Flash Gordon, or I hear a Depeche Mode song, hear someone mention Absinthe or remember the 80s. You've left a hole that can't be filled, but you are preserved in fond memories until we can all visit you again :)

I look across the rd ea day at your house looking for you & sad not see you. On the day of the open house I went in & felt your presence. A comfort came over me. Now I am told the home sold. Again I am sad, but honored to have had your friendship here on earth. Thank you for bringing comfort into my life at the times I needed it most. Your are thought of often. I surely hope you are spending time w/my husband up there & are looking down upon little Keith & I. I miss you all so very much!

I can't believe it's been a year already. There is vast sadness in your absence, but I am reminded today of the joy and beauty you brought to the world for your friends, family and patients. Missing you terribly but feeling fortunate to have known you at all.

I don't think it was just by chance that I traveled back to see you from England last year. Just two weeks before your passing. I'm ever so grateful I got to see you one last time.
Your friend.

I cant even begin to tell u how much you'll be missed... You were so caring & gave everything of yourself to other in need. You were taken from us way to soon & will be deeply missed... I'm so glad that we were such good friends & confided all the time in each other. You made my life that much better... Us hanging out having good times together will always be embedded in my memories forever. My only hope is that God has amazing thing in store for u my angel...

Jennifer,
You are the apple of my eye, the keeper of my heart, the best thing thats ever happened to me. I can't comprehend that you are really gone. I will cherish the moments we had together forever. I'm proud of you for going down there to take care of Todd, you are such an angel. I so wanted to share the rest of our days together, and hope someday I will see you again. I miss your smiles. I miss your frizzy bed head in the morning. I miss your pure honest, ethical, moral heart. I miss your sense of humor. All our dreams died with you. I pray you are with your mother and are both happy and safe. I pray that I can join you there someday,

Love you forever,
