To The Tarr Family,
I had the joy of knowing Jen throughout our childhood years. My fondest memories of Jen are the times when we played softball together and our school's field day at the park/pool. She was always laughing and having fun, and that is the way I will always remember her. Although years have passed and we lost touch, she will always hold a special place in my heart. She will be greatly missed!
My sincerest condolences go out to you all.

I remember Jennifer from my exchange student year at Middleborough High School. We were on the same soccer team and I was lucky to be her friend for a year. She will be dearly remembered. She and her family are in my thoughts.
