I passed the lovely cross with Jennifer's name on it earlier today. I looked up her story, and I have been praying for the family ever since. I don't know you, but I wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and praying for you. A loss like that always stays with you. Just remember that people far and wide who see that cross will lift you up in prayer. God bless, and may Jennifer's memory be eternal.

Passed by your cross the other day and I always tell my husband what a smart girl you were. I tell him how well you did at CSB and what a shame that some business was cheated out of your skills by your untimely death. Rest in peace my friend.

I would like to say that i didn't know Jennifer but I would like the family to know that I drive through that intersection twice a day for the past year and I always think of Jennifer because of the cross that is there in her memory and that keeps me safe because it reminds me of how dangerous that intersection is, and I'm sure it keeps many people safe because it keeps everyone on their toes to pay special attention of the danger that is there, I'm positive that Jennifer's memory has saved countless lives and I am very thankful for that.

You were always a joy to be around. I didn't know you passed until I looked for you on Facebook. You were loved and still are by so many. I remember seeing you at York fair years ago. It was like we never lost touch. Your with god now and he wanted you for a reason and we will think of you and miss you. I pray he gives strength to your parents and brother. Thank you for the happy times and memories.

I just sat here && read through most of the posts on your guest book, && I balled my eyes out, .. I have been thinking about you a lot lately, . In school I am taking a safety ed class && we are learning about speed limits and car crashes && all's I could do when I saw the crashes was cry my eyes out, everyone looked at me funny, but they didn't understand, . I talked about you that day && told them what happened, .. But now I am doing a project && I feel honored to be able to have you be a part of it, !! I miss you more && more each day, but I hope you are living your new life to the fullest, !! You were always such an AMAZING woman, !!

I can't believe it was 9 years yesterday. I know God needed you to be our angel but selfish me wishes you were still here with us. Even 9 years doesn't stop the tears. We all miss you Jenny and will love you forever and ever. PS: your spider plant is growing and having babies - good thing you gave it to me years ago!!!

Today is a hard day for all of us. 9 years ago this evening we were sitting at my house waiting for you to arrive. Never in our wildest dreams did any of us think you would be taken from us that day. All I ever wanted in the world was a sister. Daddy reminds me when Charlie and Karl were born I threw a fit and told him to take them back and bring me a sister. God granted my wish and gave me a sister and a brother. You were taken from us entirely too soon. 6 months wasn't long enough to have you as my sissy even though I considered you n Howe my brother and sister before that. My only peaceful thought of that day is now we all have a guardian angel watching over us and protecting us. Kirsten and Megan were do blessed to gave you as their Auntie. I would chuckle when I came home from work from time to time and found a note on the counter saying "I stole the girls. They will be back whenever....". They couldn't wait to tell the stories of going to the store at midnight in their pj's for slushies. Not a day goes by that I don't think or talk about you. There are days when the only person I feel I can talk to is you... I miss you so much. I love you Jenny. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe...

Sweet Baby Girl,
Once again it is your birthday and you are not here for me to celebrate it with you. When I think about your birthday and the day you were born, I get a big smile through a million tears thinking about all the incredible pleasures you bought into my life. The day you were born was one of the two most amazing days of my life. You and your brother are the two most incredible gifts I ever received, (I thank God every day), and without you, I am only half-alive. The pain in my heart is always there, and you are in my every thought.
On your birthday today, I just want to scream JENNY! JENNY! JENNY! COME BACK! Nevertheless, I know you cannot. Therefore, Jenny I will wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY in heaven since they get to enjoy your infectious smile and vibrant presence on your special day. Tell Grandma and Grandpa to give you a hug and kiss from me.
All of your family and friends miss you very much.
I miss you immensely; and thank you again for still being an amazing daughter…ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS, Mommy

Sweet Baby Girl,
Today is eight years since you had to leave us. The pain in my heart is always there, and this year I have to go to a funeral on the day you left. I can feel the numbness in my body already, I am sure you will be there to hold my hand.
Jenny you can still make me smile as I think back to your infectious smile and vibrant presence, which make it impossible to forget you. Your presence would light up even the darkest of rooms. I can feel your presence in everything I do. I often think about what you would say about a special moment, or I wish you were here to share that moment. The passion you had for life was infectious and you made everything extremely enjoyable. I have just started to listen to music again and all the songs that were our “favorite.”
All of your family and friends miss you very much.
I miss you immensely; and thank you again for still being an amazing daughter…ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS, Mommy

Tomorrow will be 8 years without you in my life. Not a day goes by that I do not think about you. I miss you so much. There is so much I want to share with you, good and bad, but mostly just everyday boring stuff that is going on. I think I should start taking notes so that I can share everthing with you. As I age, I realize that I am getting like Mommom, (forgetfu). I just miss your smile. Love ya!
Heidi
FYI: on a fun note...you would have been the QUEEN of facebook!!!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and as always, my heart becomes extra heavy with out you to hug. I was about to curse GOD for taking you when I heard a voice say' I gave you thirty years with her and now it's my turn. She will be here when you arrive. Love lasts.
Well I will think of you often and love you forever. I've got to go now,my monitor is starrting to get blurry. Happy Thanksgiving. LOVE YOU

Love you always and forever,
June 30, 2010
Sweet Baby Girl,
Today is seven years since you had to leave us. The numbness has gone but the pain in my heart is always there. I dream about you, but I am always searching for you, and I cannot find you. I am sure someday I will see you again. I fill my life with anything and everything I can possible think of to try not to think of you every second, but I still find myself wondering what you would say or think about everything I do. Jenny I found that you completed ever part of me, and now I find your sweet memories and infectious smile are still helping me make it through the day. You are a remarkable gift that God gave me; you still are helping me get thru every day of my life. You still do make me smile, and sometime I swear I hear your voice. Thank you for being here.
Your marvelous brother Howie is working very hard to take care of me as he promised you. He has a great family now, I am sure you are as proud of him as I am. Howie, Liz, and Hannah are going to have a baby girl; her middle name is going to be Jennifer. I cannot wait to hold her.
All of the family and friends miss you very much.
I miss you immensely; and thank you for still being an amazing daughter…ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS, Mommy

My. How I miss you.
As your 36th birthday came, I did not find much joy in the event, although the memories are still strong.
There are times that my heart becomes so heavy with grief that I find it hard to breath.
At times I feel guilty because I am still here and you are not. The tears don't always flow on the outside, but flow, they do.
Father's Day no longer holds the meaning it once had. To have you to hold - nevermore - is a loss I wish on no one.
As I pull the memories of all the years I had, your kind heart and warm smile fills my mind and I feel wrapped in your LOVE.
May God watch over you.Love forever. DAD

Hi Sissy.... I can't believe it has been 5 years since that day that has changed all ours lives..... Things have been changing too since you left us.
Kirsten just finished her first year of college at shippensburg. She did great, her lowest grade was a C. Megan is a Senior at South West.
We are settling in to our new(old) house... Tearing out overgrown weeds and trees.
Kyra is getting big and old, and the new puppy is getting big too. Kirsten got a kitten about a month ago and named it "Google" Yes like the search engine.... lol. He is a ball of energy and is cute to watch. You would love him. We also added a reptile to our house.... no iguannas or water dragons... just a little turtle that Megan found....
We all miss you and say hi every time we are on 234 out of East Berlin.
Guess that's all for now....
Love you very much Sissy....
Susie, Kirsten, Megan and Tony

Jenny,
Where do I begin to start to tell you how much I miss you? Honestly, I really don't think there are even words to describe the pain everyone goes through each and every day without you here. Yesterday was 5 years and it seems like just yesterday you were getting me off the bus in kindergarden. This year is already 8th grade for me. Sometimes when I get off the bus I think of the times you were there waiting for me....stopping by the gas station so I could get a snack....then to Great Grandma's house we would go. Singing to the music on the radio or the CD that was playing, talking about my day at school, and then there was just the other stuff that came to mind at random. You would walk me in, say "Hello" to Great Grandma, then, leave. But to tell you the truth, I NEVER wanted you to go. I try to keep a lot of my feelings away from people because some just don't understand the pain I go through. I miss you a lot! Love you, Ashley
Heidi Thomas
June 30, 2008
Hey Jen, Well here it is 5 years....It seems like only yesturday. I still think about you every day. I miss you so much. I still do not have anyone to talk to like we used to talk. There is so much that I have to tell you and share with you. I guess someday we will get caught up with our chats. Well....I love ya cuz. :)

Hi Jen,
I miss you so much!!! I just wanted to let you know that you have been on my mind alot lately. I know we are being taken care of with you watching over us. It still doesn't make it any easier. I still see people who knew you and I see they to are still struggling through this. It's nice to have the guest book, so that any of us can read it and write to you as well. I love you and miss you Jen.
Love Always,

Hi Sissy.... It's almost Christmas and another holiday without you. But you are not forgotten. You always come up in our conversations when we are together.
I wish you were here with us. So much has changed since you left us. My divorce became final ( yeah! ) Megan and Kirsten moved in with us... oh yeah there is a new us... I met a wonderful man... His name is Tony. He is a firefighter, a paramedic and he also teaches firefighting technics at local volunteer firefighting schools and at the state fire academy. (when he goes up there sometimes the dogs and I go along) Oh yeah we got a new puppy. She is Kyra's greatniece. Her name is Sierra. She is a wild child... just like you....lol But she will be a great dog I think when she gets a little older.
Back to Tony. He is great and Mommy and Daddy absolutely love him. He is a total opposite of Bryan. He is a wonderful Dad to our kids. I have 4 kids now. He has an 18 year old the same age as Kirsten and a six year old little boy.... I finally have the little boy that I always wanted! His kids are great and I love them alot! He is great with my kids and as I said before they are our kids. And that is exactly how he treats my girls.
We bought an old farm house together in August and we are still trying to get things unpacked and straightened out. It is a little small for all of us but we plan to add an addition in the spring.
He is completely devoted to the girls and I. He told Mommy and Daddy that right to their faces. Kirsten and Katie(that is my new daughter) are doing well in college. Kirsten is going to Shippensburg and Katie is going to York. Megan is making a good transition to her new school. She changed school districts when we moved and it was her idea to change. I think she is doing good and she likes her new school alot.
I have bought a few things for the new house for Christmas and I found some great deals on "Clarence".
I think that I have bent your ear enough for now. I will talk to you again soon and let you know how things are going.
Love you lots! and miss you more....

Hey Jen,
I was cleaning my bedroom last weekend and came across your ring laying on top of my dresser. I'm not sure how it go there (I don't question those things anymore), I just put it back in my jewelry box where it belongs and thought of you. Jessica's grandfather passed away this week and will be buried in at Susquehanna, so I will be sure to stop by and talk. I miss you tremendously but I know you are keeping Pap straight because he needs help with that every now and again. We are having a little get together in a few weeks, so we will listen to your UB40 CD and have a drink to you and Pap! I Love Ya & Miss Ya!!

Hey Jen, I am going to be starting school this Thursday and i was just thinking about when I was in kindergarden. I remember one day you picked me up when I got off the bus and I was so excited because that day a boy had kissed me. I was so excited I kept talking and talking. I remember you telling me to take a breath and you kept laughing at me and I didn't know why. Well, know I do, because when I look back at that day it makes me laugh and think about you. I was young when this happened but I remember almost every moment when I was with you because they were always the best. Some times I lay in bed and think about you and it makes me cry. But everyone needs to cry once in awhile, right? This year I'm going to be 13 and a teenager but I'll always remember back when I was 6, those days where alls we would do is carry on and I would play with your hair.
You don't know how much I miss you...I love you

Well I had a dream about you, Jen, last night and it felt like when I woke up you would be here. We had a good time in my dream, another one of those limo rides, too much to drink (ok so only Amy and I had too much to drink) and dancing. We laughed, sang and acted silly as usual. That's exactly how I always will remember you, always. You being the bible reader you were, June 1989, I know you know what I mean, you shouldn't stand on chairs!! We have to stop to see you, I know Rachel would love to talk with you the way she did the last time we were there. We'll be there to visit soon. I know I don't need to visit to talk with you but would love to visit to feel close to you. Ok, maybe another crazy dream tonight, I hope so. Love you and miss you more than ever!!

Sissy.... Today has been four years without my only sister. It has been years of memories of you, talk of your indivualities, tears. You are always with us at every family gathering. I try to find "Clarence" every time I go shopping and smile thinking of you.
The girls are growing up so fast. Yesterday Kirsten turned 18 and graduated from high school and is off to college this fall. Megan turned 16 a short time ago, just bought a car (a blue cavilier) and is learning to drive.
I miss having you around, someone to talk to, laugh with. I think of you often.....
We all miss you very much Sissy....
Love you lots

Hi Jen, I am not really sure how I ended up here tonight? Maybe I just needed to talk with you and read all the nice things everyone has written about you> It is kind of nice, because I don't feel so alone in missing you!! I am really not looking forward to marking the fourth year of your absence. Four years without you around is far to long. I thank God I had 30 awesome years with you!! I know that you have greeted some very good friends and family of mine lately and it helps to know you are there with your beautiful smiling face!!! I love you and miss you terribly!!! You would really be digging Dad and Karen's new house!!! Keep an eye on them!! Heather

Hi Jen, Well Sissy another year Is about to come to an end and a New one is about to begin. I think about you everyday and I know that if there were any way at all possible you of all people would let us know everything is okay. When someone moves away and you don't see them for a long time you still know that they are here. It's hard because the longer the time goes on the more real it becomes. I miss your phone calls, letters and pictures and especially your visits. I feel so sad that Carrie and Adam Will never really know thier Aunt Jenny and I try really hard to keep your memory alive for them!! I feel you watching over them and I really am glad you are here in spirit. I miss sharing our memories together and telling our funny childhood stories and secrets only we knew about. I love you and miss you. Love , Heather

I just wanted to let you know that this weekend is the Amspacher Christmas party. Everyone from the Daniels side is supposed to attend. Even Shirley and Joshua will be up from North Carolina. I am so happy that we can all be together but very sad that you will not be with us. Joe keeps telling me that you are with us, watching over all of us. I try to believe it but some days are very hard to believe. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Most of the time I smile because I know that you would want it that way but some days I just can't help but to cry. People say that in time it will get better. I really don't believe that. I think that in time we just learn how to deal with our sadness and anger better but the pain never gets better. I talked to your Dad just last night at the Glen Rock Carol Singers concert. He is dealing but he will never be the same. He just has a look of emptyness. I have not seen your Mom since the summer. I miss her so much. When we were growing up Joyce was like a second Mom and now I don't even know what to say to her. Nothing that I say to her will bring you back and that is what she wants to hear. Well Jen, I just wanted to say I love you and I miss you. Not a day goes by that I dont think about a time when we were together doing something fun.
Love
Heidi
PS I will play a game of BINGO for you on Sunday.

A few days ago I was out to visit your cross and found that someone had done some brick work around the base. I don't know who did this but it sure made the area look very nice. I know that you hang out with each and everyone of us when we think about you or need you to be there for us just to make it one more day without you. We can't hold you or hear your advice, or see your smilling face, but we still love you with all our heart and we know that you still love us. LOVE ALWAYS DAD

There aren't enough words in any dictionary that could tell you what Jen meant to me. I feel sorry for you, only because you never had a chance to meet Jen. She was the only person who could make a complete stranger feel like they belong. Always giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, regardless of anything else. Jen never judged anyone; she always seemed to be able to find only the best in people.
But since the day Jen was taken from us, things will never be the same. Jen and I were very close; she was the big cousin I looked up to. The one I could count on when I needed a shoulder to cry on, or just to tell me it would be ok. You could always count on Jen. Jen and I shared so many memories, secrets and a million laughs. If I would of know that Jen would have been ripped from our lives in a blink of an eye, just maybe we could have had some more chats on how to go on in life, one last chance to say good-bye. When you lose someone like Jen it puts so much on hold. Leaves so much unanswered and so many whys.
Jen had the biggest heart; she would make room in her heart for anyone. You could talk to her about anything and Jen never judged you. The amount of friends Jen had told everyone what kind of person she was. She could go anywhere and there would be people she knew. She touched the hearts of everyone. Everyone in the world should have someone like Jen in there life. People who knew Jen in passing knew just how wonderful she was. Jen's death affected people of all ages; she touched the lives of little ones as well as peoples her age and older people.
Jen meant the world to everyone. Losing Jen was like losing a piece of my heart, which can never be replaced. If you've never had someone like Jen in your life, you can never imagine what it's like without her. Jen and I had so many wonderful memories that I hold close to my heart. Now the only memories are visiting her gravesite or the accident site and talking to her. Wondering what she would think of the things I've done, or if she'd agree with it. Jen and I had secrets that I couldn't of told anyone about but her.
Because of this tragedy I now live life like there's no tomorrow. You'll never find someone out there to replace Jen; I've yet to meet anyone who could come close to what Jen had to offer someone as his or her friend. Not many people could offer what Jen had given people when she became their friend.
If only writing these letters would bring Jen back, she'd probably be your friend. But unfortunately we will have to continue through life without her, just holding on to our memories of her. I hope you never have to experience what we all have by losing someone who meant so much to everyone. Someone who could put a smile on your face or could make you laugh just when you thought the day couldn't get better, but Jen always could. She had a heart of gold!! I miss and love you, Jen!
To everyone who's reading this, this is the letter I wrote to Kelly.

Hey Jen!
A few weeks ago, Nikki, Amy and I spent some time together remembering the old days from when we were young. There were a lot of tears, but there were also a lot of laughs and smiles. It was a great day to be able to sit and talk about you and how you affected other peoples lives in such a positive way. We all love you and miss you so much. I have a few physical things to remind me of you, but the things I cherish and love the most are the memories that include you. You are a very special person and I feel better knowing you are in God's and Grandpa's care. You are greatly missed. All my LOVE!!!

Hi Jen,
I have been thinking about you so much lately, that I felt I needed to write. I still haven't found an easy way to deal with this terrible tragedy. They always say that the man upstairs doesn't give us anymore than we can handle, but from the day this has happened I sometimes find myself questioning that. There are so many things going on in life that I know you would have been able to give me your opinion on and help make it ok. But we have all had to learn new ways to go on with our lives and it still doesn't make this nightmare go away. I know that you and grandpa are having a good time but that doesn't even make it easier. Jen, I know you are watching over each and everyone of us but I think your mom, dad, and Howie all need a little more help and I'm not sure how any of us can help. If you could show them in some way that it's going to be ok eventually it might help us all. Everytime I see your mom it feels like it did when it happened. Well Jen, I will be back to write again. We miss and love you so much!
Love,
Amy

Hi Jen
It has been a long time since you are gone, but you are still remembered so very much. I pass by the accident scene every day now going to work in E.B. so there are very few days that I do not look at the memorial and think of you and the good times we had at CSB. Sweet dreams.

Hey Jen
The other day was really hard for me. It was my Birthday and I kept waiting for the phone to ring and to have you wish me a Happy Birthday. I still think about you all the time. I wish you could share with me all the wonderful things that have happened in the past year and a half. I know you were always my number one fan and I miss that. I love and miss you so much.

Howie and Little Howie, I just found out about Jen. My mom saw the in memory and called me. I'm sorry for your loss. I remember little Howie and I were on our way to see her about 10 years ago, to see fireworks, but the car broke down so we never got there. I'm sorry we never did, it would have been great to meet her. Remember all the happy times you had with her. Cherish them forever.

Hey Jen,
Yesterday was a year. Last night was extremely hard for all of us at the Memorial Service, but we made it through. I miss you very much. Last night your Aunt Dar was saying how she spoke to you just a few days before the accident, and how thankful she was that she had the opportunity to do that. I was standing there thinking how fortunate it was that you got that fork stuck in your tire a week or two before the accident and came to the garage to get it checked out. It was the weardest thing I've seen or heard of and it would only happen to you. I feel it was God's way for me to see you one last time before you were taken away from us. Jen, I miss your hugs and kisses hello and goodbye. It is so important to let people you love, know you love them, and you were a great example of that. I see your happiness and lovingness in Nathan and I am thankful for that. Thanks for being who you were and teaching us how to love a little more than we used too. I Miss You!! All my Love!!

Hi Jen,
Well it's been a long dreadful year, here without you. To all those people who says it gets easier as the days go by they have no idea what they're talking about. It hasn't gotten any easier for alot of us. I know if it was up to you, you would make it easier. There isn't a day that I don't have something new to tell you. I know I have a hole that will never get filled. You made a difference in so many lives.. I still run into people who talk about the wonderful person you were and the things you did for them. It's amazing how many lives you touched in the short period of time we had you around with us. And yes I still cry when I talk about you or something reminds me of you. I still have that one question... Why did it have to be you???? But that will never get answered and I just have to live with it unanswered. You will always be in our hearts and on our minds until we met again. I miss and love you.
Love Always,
Amy

Jen,I've been doing alot of thinking and talking about you in the last couple days. So many of our good times together that it's got me writing you. I miss you more and more everyday... I thought it was suppose to get easier as time went on but that's definitely not true. You were the one I always turned to when I needed to chat or just needed cheered up. I miss all of that. And to your mom, dad, and Howie if there is ever anything I can do for you just call me and I'm there. To everyone else just remember all the good times with Jen and we can get through this. I love you and miss you Jen.

We have just come through Thanksgiving and I know that it was a hard time for all of you. I think about Jenny and Grandpa every day and realize that they were truly gifts from God. They both taught me so much about happiness and love. The next few weeks are going to be hard for all of us, especially you. Remember that your families are here for you and love you very much. When you feel sad, remember that Jenny was the happiest person you would ever want to be around, so surround yourself with her love and put a smile on your face. That's what she would do. I'm thinking of you and praying for you always!
ALL MY LOVE!!

Howard, Joyce and Howie,
I am at a loss for words. I loved Jen dearly. She was there for me when my neck was broken and she did everything to brighten my days. I think at times, I acted like a mother hen and I know Jen would get angry with me. We had many hilarious times together, especially the one at Lowes in the tool dept. We were trying to find a tool to change her belly button ring. Those poor older gentlemen will never forget us. Jen, I will always have a place for you in my heart and will look forward to seeing you again.
Love,
Deb

I met Howie through my friend Jen Hoover during high school. He was so pleasant and nice I knew I would never forget him...so when I found out our friend Eric was dating "HOWIE'S" sister all I felt was relief. I was sooo happy Eric had finally found a sincerely nice person to go out with. I didn't even have to get to know her before I came to that conclusion, because I knew if she was Howie's sister she would be A+ in my book. Well, I was right. Jen was so nice and down to earth and all she ever talked about was about how much she loved being an aunt.
Even though she wasn't "the one" for our friend, we knew she would eventually find her perfect match. I was so glad to hear that she did accomplish that before the accident. (Many people search their whole lives trying to find their other half). I especially liked how she could still be friends with Eric after their relationship was over-that says alot about her. In this day and age people can be so bitter and spiteful.
My husband, Daniel, and I had just talked about whether or not we would see Jen at the stay at home celebration in Jacobus as we had the previous year. Regretfully we would not.
Jen was a truly wonderful and caring person. We will NEVER forget her or the beautiful smile that always went with her.
We miss you Jen!

Hi Sweetheart it's your DAD. I sure do miss you. I want to tell you that I have a hole in my heart that you could drive an eighteen wheeler through. I found the last boo-boo paper that you left laying on the radiator. I could not bring my self to put it away or try to make it fit on the hole in my heart. it is still laying on the radiator in the bathroom. I have talked to a whole lot of your friends. You never told me just how many peoples lives that you had touched. They all seem to be missing you so much. I hope that we will get to talk again some time soon, there are so many questions that I have that only you can answer. It's really hard to keep my eye on you when your not here to make me smile. You will never be to far to bring to mind, for it's not a long trip from my heart. I LOVE YOU BABY. DAD

I just want to thank everyone for all of their support durning this rough time. Jenny was a ONE OF A KIND person. She was the best person you could have as a friend or a sister. To know her was a peace of mind, Because you always knew there was someone there when you needed someone to talk to or just listen. Jenny was always there to help her friends and family. I have no idea how she could do it, but some how Jenny seemed to be in many places at one time. Jenny and I had a good and enjoyable 28 years together. I will miss her, she was not only my sister but she was also my best friend.
The thing that hurts me the most is that growing up I was always there to protect her, but this is the frist time I was not able to protect my sister.
I am glad I got to tell her that morning that I loved her.
Jenny will always be loved and missed.
Thanks again to everyone for their support.
My favort saying is,"life is not enjoyable unless you have someone to love and someone that loves you back". This saying can be used for anything in life.

Her LOVE will always surround you and one day ease your pain.When you cry her arms will surround you. When you laught and you will again,she'd say go mom,I'm watching over you. You will never be alone in any season of your life, because,Jenny will always be a Heart beat away. She will always be watching over her mommy,because you were the Love of her life too you know.

This is how My SweetHeart described herself to me..
I am very loving and caring person. I'm also a very trusting person, sometimes to trusting. I seem to be the one who always gets screwed in the end. I am the type of person that would do anything for anyone. I like making other people happy or helping someone it makes me happy in return. I like learning new things and am not afraid to get dirty. I have a great personality and I can get along with just about anyone. I am told that I am too nice of a person, but that will never change.
I would like to find someone to settle down with, get married, and have a family. I would also like to have a successful job career so I can make sure my family has everything we need or want. I have a close family and plan to be with someone who shares the same way I feel about family. Family is very important to me.
A relationship is something that is special between two people. It is not something that is hard, but is quite easy if you let it be. It is something that comes straight from the heart, two people sharing thier lives together as one. It is a feeling that comes from deep inside you, a feeling of love and being loved. Loving someone and them loving you back is the most special feeling in the world.

This is the exact way that my SweetHeart Jennifer Ritter described herself to me ...I will truly Miss You Baby...I knew Jennifer for A short time, but knew her well, I will have her in my Heart throught eternity...To her family I will always be there for anything at anytime for each and every one of you...
The Love of Jenny's Life...,

To all, thank you. Jenny loved all of her family and friends very much. This is the letter I read to Jennifer the day I had to say goodbye:
Jenny, this is the hardest thing I will ever have to do is to say goodbye today. But with you I have been blessed.
Jennifer, you were my light, my angel. You are the song in my heart, the smile in my eyes.
I have so many things I would like to tell the world about how perfect our lives were with you in it. All the joy and happiness you brought us, but all of your family and friends here can say the same thing.
Not another mother in this world has been as blessed as I was with you in my life.
Thank you with all my heart and soul Jenny for being my sweet baby girl. Now the dearest gift that heaven holds is our sweet Jennifer Dawn.
Since I can no longer hold you in my arms, I will hold you in my heart tighter than all the love that exists.
Thank you God for the love, peace, joy, happiness, and smiles you granted us with Jenny.
I will miss you with all my heart and soul. ALL MY LOVE. Mommy
Jennifer and I exchanged "I Love You" shortly before her life was ended. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. ALWAYS SAY "I LOVE YOU".

To the parents and Family of Jen
I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the sadness and sorrow you are going through at this time. I also worked with Jen at TYCO, but didn't get to know her better until we started our Medical classes together at CSB. She was always outside the door in the mornings and greeted us all with a smile and what a smile she had; so sincere. I have cherished the time we spent together at school, studying, and chatting on line. She always was so willing to help anyone who needed extra tutoring in school. I remember how she buzzed through our Accounting I and II all in one Block. She was so willing and helpful when I had questions on how to do the Accounting and what a joy it has been to know her. And to her mother, how hard that must have been for you to read your heartfelt message about Jen at the service and it was done so well. I could only think how I would get through something like that if I lost my only daughter but it is something I would want to do, so I could let the world know how much she means to me. We are close as I know the two of you were and it is like a part of you must be missing now. And to Howie, I too will remember the get together we had at the Round the Clock and would like one of the pictures if you have an extra one. God bless you and time does not make you forget, it only makes it easier to endure the pain of losing someone as sweet as Jen. May God be with you always.

To Jen's family,
I got to know Jen at CSB and even though I worked at Tyco also, I didn't know Jen then. I'm so glad I got to met her, she's a very special person, a good listener, wonderful person to be around and always a smile on her face. If you were having a bad day Jen would get you laughing. I will surely miss you (Jen) but I know you're watching over all of us! So glad I got to see you with your mom at the Republican Club of Hanover. Joyce and Howard your daughter will never be forgotten. She's an angel in heaven watching over all of us and one day I know we will see her again. Cherish all the memories you have. Although at times of sorrow there's so little words can say, still may these words of sympathy help comfort you today.
Jen was loved very much my alot of us. Love you Jen!
