I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You are both so special and I know that God will help you during this terrible time. I like to think.... don't be sad for what you've lost, but happy for the time you've had. I know that sounds so simple now, but in time it will feel right. I wish you strength and my prayers are with you all.

Dear Vause family,

We were so sad to hear about Jennifer's passing. She was such a sweet girl. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and hope you can find comfort during this difficult time.

To Jennifer's Beloved Family,

Words are inadequate in times of heartfelt emotions. Perhaps, something my mother said to me after the death of my girlfriend when I was seven says it best. She pointed to the stars in the sky and smiled saying, "Sometimes God needs another angel in heaven and he chooses the very best one to receive wings." Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Carey Beth and I had a good hug from Jennifer last Wednesday at Art Studio. It was such a sweet reunion that we'll cherish for a long time. We look forward to seeing her again on that great reunion day. May this blessed hope carry you through.

Love and prayers,

Riley -



I just got wind of Jennifer's passing. I am praying for you and your family brother. Think on those Scriptures that I sent to you on Friday - I sent those not knowing what the following day would hold for you and your family. May the Lord be your strength, strong tower, and shelter in this difficult time.

Diane and Earl --

It's hard to find words that will even begin to tell you how sad I am for you.



Diane, you and I have had many talks about the God we serve. I'm reminded of the times that we've prayed together. Just like those times, I know that God is listening. He feels what we feel, and I know that He will continue to take care of you (all). My prayer will remain the same -- that God will give you strength. He will hold you close to His bosom and rock you during this time. Lean on Him, for He is our help in time of sorrow.



I'll miss Jennifer, but truly she's happiest where she is now.



Yours in Christ,
