Dear Ones,

Jennifer will always be in my heart and memory. What a pleasure it was to be her teacher. As children of God we can trust in His Word and "be not afraid". He has prepared a mansion for her. God bless you in the weeks and months ahead. May He be there when you need Him the most with arms to comfort you. Sincerely,

Pam, Angela, and Larry Johnston

Dear Family: Jen was such a fun, lovable young woman of God. I enjoyed my years with her in school, our random conversations over the summer and the wonderful conversations on-line during the last few months. I'll always remember dancing with her and her contagious smile. She truly was a blessing here on earth, and is now an additional treasure in Heaven. I pray that God gives you peace and comfort during this hard time, reminding you that He has a place for Jen in His glorious kingdom.

May your hearts always remember your sweet little girl with the wonderous smile she displays in the picture and may God grant you the ability to forget all the suffering she has endured on this earth. I know with a great deal of certainty that she is "home" and waiting for the day of reunion with her family and friends.

It was a year ago when you came and stayed at our home during diagnosis in Indy. I remember seeing you and Curt so happy, your Mother Anita so nervous and knowing that we were all praying for a message that there was a simple cure. My family and I have shared the request for prayer to our church for you and your family wishing for the most comfort you could have during your last hours. You will forever be in our thoughts as a beautiful lady with a fabulous smile and personality. Love-The Miller Family, Fishers, IN
