Marc and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your sudden loss of Jennifer. I went to school with her when I lived in Dublin for the first part of our high school years. Jennifer was a warm and friendly face among all the new people I met there, and it was fun to see her again at Miami. I was remembering those days with my daughter as she herself is a sophomore this fall and interested in attending MU--and Jen came to mind. And then I learned about her passing in the Miamian, and was completely floored. Gods blessings of peace and comfort to all of you.

Marc,
I am shocked and deeply saddened to read about Jennie's passing in The Miamian today. We were Thetas together. I don't remember a time when she didn't have that gorgeous smile and beaming attitude exuding all over campus. She was an amazing person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May her strength live on.

Dear Marc, I went to school with Jenny at Dublin, and we were the only girls to go onto Miami together from our Senior class. I am shocked and deeply saddened to read about Jenny in the Miamian today. I haven't seen her in forever, but still see her smile, cute figure, and feel her energy and drive. She was so darned smart and goal driven! Our freshman year, we took an elective "Microbiology - Bacteria & Diseases of Man".......it was much harder than we bargained for! Meanwhile, our dorm friends took "Trees and Shrubs" and got to walk around campus staring at leaves! Of course, Jenny managed to get a high B or A, both pulling some "all nighters" in the process. I send on my very best to you and your children. My daughter's best friend's father died in April (she is 12), and we know how tragic this is for all of you.
Sincerely,
Liz (Schenck) Willoughby (Dublin,OH / Birmingham, Alabama)

Marc, I just read about Jennie's passing in The Miamian last night (right below another very special Miami friend, Thad Toothman). Jen and I were Thetas together (Becky K B was my little sister and Jennie was like her twin to me). I am so sorry for your loss. She was an incredible person. I know you all miss her so much. I will keep your entire family in my prayers.
How you can show support

Dear Griffith/Beer families, It was such a shock to have Beth Newton Baran pass on the news of Jennifie's death, so untimely. But reading over the notes that people had written in their sorrow brought back memories of our teaching days, Jean, and all those wonderful kids. Please accept my deep sympathy. Catherine Loveland

Dear Jean, Mike, Betsy and Marc, we are so sad to hear of Jen's death. We remember Jen and Betsy from Milner family reunions in the days when Glenn, Ross and Carl attended and the girls were young. Our children, Mark and Julie, remember the reunion when we met Marc. Jen and Betsy shared a marionette with our Mark. We remember Jen with love for her kind way and interest in young cousins she did not know well. Jen and Betsy made special time that day for our children to feel very included in the reunion activities. Over the years Jean and Mike we have enjoyed the annual Christmas letter with photos and details of Marc and Jen and children. Though we do not see them they have been part of our family thoughts. We send our prayers for guidance for each of you in this difficult time of adjustment and know that Jen's influence will continue strong in each of your lives. Love, Glenda and Glenn Milner

Dear Marc and family,
Reading about Jen made me feel like I really missed something... seeing her in action! She will inspire many, even now, to push themselves to the limit for the benefit of others. People like her make their communities stronger. My fervent prayer is that her loss will not conjure despair, but bring hope to us in the belief that she's not really all gone....she lives in you and your children, and she'll shine through as you and your kids go on to do more great things in your lives. She'll keep being there to help...I'm sure of it. Please find comfort in great memories you share and strength from your faith.
A candle has been lit in the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, MI for Jen...in honor of the many "small" things that Jen did that added up to a truly wonderful life for her and all those around her.
Yours in Notre Dame,

Marc,
Although I never met Jen, I feel like I knew her well. You always described her in such vivid terms that I felt like she was standing right next to me. It is clear that she was an amazing woman. Her boundless energy, compassion for others and love for you and your kids must have been something to behold. She will continue to shine through your children where her values, ideals and example are ingrained forever. Laura the kids and I share in your sadness at this very difficult time. You will be continually be in our thoughts and prayers. With much love, Jeff

It was a privilege to have known Jenny. She had the drive, enthusiasm and determination to be the best person she could be. We worked in sales together at BSC and she positively influenced all those around her. She was the best of the best!
She will be missed.

I will always have great memories of my time spent with her growing up and enjoying her always upbeat positive personality and confidence. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family.

I will always remember Mrs. Beer as being part of the solution. She was like a second mother to me. She was always at every game, every event, and every single activity you could think of, Jen Beer was there. Even though she had such a hectic schedule she always made me feel involved. I'll never forget how energetic and ethusiastic she was. Nothing, not one single thing on this planet could make her give up, she was one of the most determined woman I ever met. When I saw how many people were waiting in line at the wake, I finally realized that all these people were here for one person. That showed how appreciated Jen Beer was and that no one will ever forget her. And though she may not be with us anymore, she is still here, watching us from above.

Marc, I cannot possibly express how deeply saddened I am to hear about Jen. She has always been one the greatest persons I have ever known and we all loved her so much. I know you will get through this because you are also such a grounded and wonderful father and husband. Kathy and I have you and your children in our prayers. If there is anything we can ever do, please let us know. God Bless.

Dear Griffith/Beer Families,
How terribly sad and heartbroken we are at the loss of your daughter, wife, mother and our friend and teammate. I am blessed to have some wonderful high school memories and as I reflect on these I realize that Jen was in the midst of all of them -whether it be tp-ing football players houses, dancing in school plays or winning a state championship-and she made everything so fun. I am so very grateful that I was able to speak with her last year. It's a comfort to me to know that she never changed-still cheerful, vibrant, and fun-loving. She was beautiful person and I am blessed to have known her. Please know that our prayers for comfort and peace are with you all.
Love,
Annie

Marc,
It is hard to find the words to express how saddened I am and how stunned I was to hear the news of Jen's passing. I can't imagine the devastation that you and the kids must feel.
What a very special person Jen was and I was so proud to have known her. She accomplished so many wonderful things in a very short life and touched so many lives, what a beautiful legacy she has left behind.
I can only pray that you find some comfort in the beautiful memories of her.
I wish I could be with you to give you a big, warm hug from your friend in Atlanta!
Please know that you and and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Just reading all the nice things that everyone has to say about Jenny brings back so many memories. Mostly from High School for me since I have been gone for so long. I am sure that her smile and her positive energy is something that will help her family and friends through such an incredibly difficult time. All of us have a particular memory of Jenny that will always leave a smile in our hearts. My deepest sympathy and thoughts are with her family.

Dear Beer/Griffith families,
The expression that "the candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long" is so applicable to Jen with her untimely passing. Most people can only hope to accomplish a fraction of what Jen has given in her short life. Sudbury will miss her so deeply, she has touched so many. We can only imagine the loss the family feels. Jen was a one-of-a-kind person and is deeply missed. Our thoughts are with you and we are confident that Jen's dedication and love for her family will live on and carry you throughout.
With love, from the Dee Family

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel. We are so thankful that we were able to spend some time with Jen in Chicago for Betsy’s birthday this past May. I will have a permanent picture in my heart of Jen coaching Hattie to her first back walkover on the front lawn. Hattie was loving the one-on-one time with Aunt Jen and Jenny was filling her up with encouragement and her usual enthusiasm. I will remember her with a smile on her face and a compliment in her voice as she was always filled with both. Please know that all of you are in our constant thoughts and we pray that you will find solace in the love of your friends and family.

Dear Marc,
Andre and I send our deepest condolences to you, your children and extended family. Unfortunately, my father's own emergency admittance to Emerson Friday evening made it impossible to speak with you personally. Please know that our prayers for you and your family will continue. Most of all, we wanted you and your children to know that even those who Jen's bright spirit touched lightly, while chatting on a basketball bench or sideline, were deeply impressed with the genuinely lovely person she was.
Sincerely,
John and Patricia Long
January 14, 2008
We are stunned to hear about Jen. We knew her when she was a gymnast and cheerleader at Dublin. Our daughter Patty was on the gymnastics team with her. She was so nice to Patty . I will always remember her pep and enthusiasm and that beautiful smile. Our prayers and thoughts are with you Marc and all of Jen's family.

January 14, 2008
As my sister's best friend in high school, Jenny was a role model for me. Still hearing about her as mom, she put her family first and accepted nothing but the best. I think these verses say it all:
She is clothed with strength and dignity...She speaks with wisdom...She watches over the affairs of her household...Her children airse and call her blessed;her husband also, he praises her: "Many women do noble things but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31: 25 - 29
God bless you all.
Love,
