John and Emily:
I just found out about Jenny's passing last night, and I was left shocked and saddened. I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Although I only worked with Jenny for 8 months or so, she quickly became a good friend of mine. Thankfully, we were able to reconnect after a couple years last spring when I saw her at a performance at the Palace Theatre. My thoughts and prayers go out to both of you.
In deepest sympathy,
Matthew

Dear John,
I am another loyal "Corby" fan and so saddened by the loss of Jenny. I, too, feel as though I knew her. When you lovingly referred to Jenny as the "old ball and chain", I used to smile and think how she must have enjoyed listening to and laughing at your show. My prayers are with you.

John,
I was in Jenny's sister's class of 72'. Both she and Barb were fun people, both always joking and smiling. I saw Jenny last year at a party and wanted to talk to her and didn't get around to it! Sincerely sorry,
How you can show support

Hi John,
I'm was shocked to learn of your loss. I knew you were "off" for some reason, but I had no idea it was due to the death of your wife, Jennifer, until you returned to the airwaves today.
I grieve for you and your extended families.
Remember the "Serenity Prayer"... it really does help.
Sincerely,

To John, Emily, Aunt Jean, Uncle Bud, Rebecca, Barbara, and Ed. There are no words to express my sorrow for the loss of such a special cousin. Heaven must have needed to be livened up. I will never forget the last time we were together in Akron. We were almost kicked out of Luigi's we were having such a wonderful "loud " time together. I just wish there had been more of them.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

John and Emily,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Jennifer was a very good friend to me after my divorce in the late 90's. Family and friends came first with her for sure. I'm glad she got to experience being a grandmother and finding the love of her life in her last few years. She was one in a million.

I remember Jenny's infectious laughter from our days at Steinhaus and Preferred Capital Management. One day she came back to the office from a meeting and said "I just saw my boyfriend on a billboard." She was so happy. Jenny definitely "lived like she was dying".

John
I am so sorry you have to go through this.
There are no words to express what you feel and the pain you did not know was humanly possible. I am sorry you lost the only person who could get you through this awful tragedy, with such pain and grief. No one knows how you feel, even those of us who also have lost a spouse at a young age.
I hope you will always feel her presence by the light and love you both will always share.
In peace & stillness, may you find her spirit by your side.

I am very sorry for your loss and wish to pay my condolences. We met while you were working in Pittsburgh (I was with your cousin Mat). After I moved to Columbus I listened to you every day. I've moved on to the Akron/Canton area and can no longer pick up your signal (although I do listen on the Internet on occasion). I really miss your daily "rants" on trivial matters. It always brought a smile to my face.
Take care and know that the thoughts and prayers of all your friends, i.e. listeners, are with you.

We are sad that we will not have the opportunity to reconnect with Jenny in this lifetime. We met 11 years ago when our children, then high school freshmen, dated. The memory of Jenny's energy and sense of humor is vivid. It is a wonderful tribute to Jenny that she raised sweet, intelligent, adorable Emily, who in turn is raising a remarkable son, Riley. It has been a joy to know you. We send our prayers, and our love and support.
