Dear Jenn,

It's been three years since you left to see the eclipse up close. Your oldest son and my daughter are preparing to go to college (what?) and the world is wracked by the worst pandemic in a century. I think of you and your sons and your house on the hill often. I miss your laugh and your smile, and the teaching stories you would delight to tell. I'm sure we would have a lot to exchange with the onset of online learning and school closings.

Gypsy and Luna crossed over the rainbow bridge to meet you last year. I hope they found you and are getting their fuzzy fur all over you. My daughter and I felt like it was time for a new pup so we adopted one from the shelter in February. Her name is Maisie (like crazy) and she's an excitable sweetheart.

I continue to miss you when it pops into my mind that you aren't with us anymore. The pain is a bit less (except on days like today) but I still wish I could hit the rewind button and visit you before you got sick. It feels so unfair.

Today my daughter and I brought the little sailboat I made to a place appropriately named "Mother's Beach" to sail it for the first time in about ten years. It had been broken and in storage for years. During the pandemic lockdown I decided to rehab it and get it sea-worthy again. It took a few months, but I got it done! I decided to rededicate her due to this "new" maiden voyage: her new name is "Jenny Pi". And yes, that's the mathematical pi.

I think of you when I need strength to carry on: when I'm feeling sad or lonely or in need of inspiration. You were a wonderful sister, wife, mother, and friend.

Your brother,
Aaron

Underoos!

Dear Jenn,
It's been four months already since you left to see the eclipse. It feels like an age ago, and like yesterday at the same time. I miss you so much. You were the best big sister to grow up with, and I imagined us growing old and sharing stories about our kids, our careers, and our lives. I know you had to go, that it was your time, but it doesn't make it easier to bear. Please look over me. I love you.

This is a difficult life event to process. It is never easy to say good-bye to someone at a time in their life when death should not be even a thought. Having worked with Jenn in Baltimore County in many capacities, I choose the friend capacity to state our relationship. I appreciated her intellect (she was so smart!); I appreciated her positive attitude; I appreciated her creativity; I appreciated her collaboration; I appreciated her willingness to jump in and help out in difficult situations; but, most of all, I appreciated her friendship. I will miss you, Jenn.

I woke up this morning with Jenn's beautiful laugh in my mind. No one will ever take her place in my heart. Working without her since she retired has been a less stimulating experience. Our philosophical discussions about the art and science of teaching would drive other co-workers right out of the room. Of course, we barely noticed they had gone. But, I'm painfully aware that Jenn is gone. I love you Jennypoopoo.

It's sad when we lose a loved one but especially when they are so young. I am truly sorry for your loss, may the family and friends find the strength from God to carry on at this difficult time. Psalms 29:11. JJ. Atlanta, GA.

Jenn,
I was blessed to have a wonderful sister n law who cared so deeply about so many things and others. You were always there when I needed a good laugh, or to vent family frustrations. It will never be the same shopping in our favorite stores together or going to sweet frog! I am going to miss you terribly but I have so many great memories. I know you will be looking down and guiding and protecting us. I love you so much!!! Till we meet again my wonderful sister and friend!
