Although its been 15 years, somehow you came to my thoughts tonight. I cant sleep, as I think of you and what fun we had- spending time in school and going to Indian Princess with our dads. Ive long missed your contagious smile and the fun times we had as kids. Im sad to find out so much later in my life that yours had ended so soon. Sending love, hugs and good vibes to your family ❤

You are one of the most beautiful people I've ever had the pleasure to meet, Jenny, and I know you're here with us forever. Your smile awakens me each and every day, forever and always.

We'll all fly together someday...

to the mcphees- im so sorry for your loss and you are always in my prayers. i would do anything to ease the pain but dont know if thats possible. jenny was a great friend of mine and i miss her more and more each day. she was the only one who cared if i had a bad day or gave the time to listen to me. She made me feel cared about and i wish i could have thanked her for that. now i strive each and every day to be like her; to treat people the way she treated them. there will always be a place for jenny in my heart and i dont know what im going to do without her. i hope you all stay strong. i love you jenny, wish you were here.

Dear McPhee Family,

I send this with deepest sympathy for your family. Both Chiara and Jenny made me smile every day I worked with them at Dana Hall. Your entire family is so dear to me, and I do think of my time with my advisory and history class from those days often. I wish I could simply give you all a hug and tell you how blessed I have felt to simply know your family. My prayers are with you all.

Jenny was a smart, funny, beautiful girl. There was not a day when she didn't reach out to someone. She touched so many of us with her unconditional kindness and love.

As Jenny's 4th grade teacher, I will always remember Jenny as a creative writer and voracious reader. She brought her special gifts to our classroom and for that I will be eternally grateful. Jenny made us think. She was a free spirit and a soulful young girl. We loved her deeply and will miss her dearly.
