Jenna,
I can still hear your laughter and see your smile. it has been to many years since I seen you but I will never forget the last time we seen each other, it was right before I left state and we had just made up from years of not talking to each other.. I came over to your house and hung out with our friends we had so much fun and like old time spent the whole night laughing. You always knew how to make a sad moment a happy one and how to make anybody laugh. I have so many great memories with you that will last me until we see each other again. I have missed you and will always miss you. Your smile will live on in my heart I love you jen!
