We just wanted to express our sympathy for the loss of Jennifer. We got to know her through the bowling league and always cheered for her when they would call "Jennie O's" name to try to win at Strike it Rich. She was so upbeat and positive--such a great friend and example to all.

Jennifer always had a smile on her face, and loved to tell me about her family. She has always been a joy to be around, and will be greatly missed. My love to each of her family at this time. ~Raelynn

My husband and I met her while we were serving a service for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was special to us because we loved her. Now she is with her eternal companion and in good health and happy. We will miss You Jennifer.

I remember Jennifer as we grew up together and were almost always in the same class. She came to several of my slumber parties and was always willing to help with anything! She was a sweet person! I still have valentines from her that we exchanged as kids. I am sure she is in a beautiful place now with her Ron!

I very much wish I would of understood how special Jennifer was when we were kids. She loved everyone. Jennifer did not see race, religion, the athlete or who was considered good looking. To her we were all beautiful. She saw all of us as her friends. I value that caring of others. She easily gave to everyone even when we did not deserve it. I'm very grateful that she is with her sweetheart in eternity. So grateful to have grown up with her. I know she touched many hearts throughout her life. That was her, that was her personality. She was Christlike everyday. She had his joy. She will be missed.
