I am very sad to hear of Jen's passing. She always had a beautiful smile and would always make me smile. Her great sense of humor could get you through anything! I also admired Jen for how very smart she was about everything. She also trained me for my job at NEEBCo. And no..she never gave up on me. She will be missed but my memories will always be so cherished. She was a wonderful person and now a beautiful angel. Fly high Jen. God Bless. All my love and prayers always for you and your family.

I am so heartbroken to hear of Jen's passing. Sharing thoughts and prayers with her family and all who knew her. Jen was such an amazing human being. I enjoyed working with her at NEEBCO, she had a great sense of humor, treated everyone with compassion, fairness and respect, and she never backed down from a good debate with Jeremy B. :) She was truly a shining light. You will be missed Jen!
