Molly, Judy & Larry,
I am very sorry to hear about Jen! Jen always had such a positive attitude, and was very nice to everyone. I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Larry & Judy,
I went to school with Jennifer and graduated with her. I remember vividly that she always was nice to everyone and she was well liked. I remember wanting to be able to dress like her and that she always matched, and that her hair was always perfect. She had a positive personality and a kind heart. I believe she was my first friend who told me that she was diabetic, but it didn’t stop her from doing anything that I was doing. She loved having fun and was ready to take on the world. I was shocked to read that she passed away and I'm so very sorry for you and your family. God bless you Jenny.

I was so saddened to hear of Jennifer's passing. She was my best friend all through grade school, and I will always treasure the wonderful and happy memories of our friendship (esp. making mud pies at the creek and sleepovers). When I first met her, I was so shy, but she went out of her way to be friendly and kind to me. She was always so brave and so determined not to let diabetes define her. She was truly a special person, and the world is a better place because she was in it. May God bless your family.
