Jenna, I know today would be a very proud and exciting day for you in helping Nicole celebrate the moments leading to the new arrival. I also know your presence will be there and be felt throughout. You are still so sadly missed by everyone and it's so unreal at times. I know it's for a reason that I don't understand fully but it's hard. Your family needs your strength and I know you are constantly looking over everyone. You are an inspiration and we love you!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. McGuigan,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. Jenna was a student of mine at Holy Family University and I remember her with respect...and a smile. Jenna was determined to work with students with disabilities and she so enjoyed her student teaching at St. John of God School. While I can't imagine the pain of your loss, I will keep you and Jenna in my prayers.

Jenna,

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know we are all who we are today
Because we knew you...

You were my mom's favorite child and the bond that our two families share will forever be stronger. You and Nichole were the best little kids to babysit for.

You will forever be missed!
Brian

I wish I knew the words that could ease your pain. Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you. Even in this time of sadness, Jenna brings a smile,,when I think of her laugh, her little visits to see me,,especially whenever riding up New Albany she would see me and yell Hello, or pull over,she always took the time. Jenna holds a special place in my heart.

To the McGuigan Family,

You don't know me but I knew and worked with Jenna. She was an amazing person. Very respectful and kept a smile on my face. She was my sunshine even when it was cloudy. I am going to miss my sunshine in the morning as I'm sure you will also. Just remember to TRUST IN GOD and KEEP THE FAITH.

Sweet Jenna~ One of the first times I met you , you were just a little girl knocking on my door in West Wildwood with the Shepherd girls looking for Andrew. A smile that could light up any room. Ironically, the last time I would ever see you was just a few weeks ago at the Brian Shepherd benefit where your smile continued to light up the room. A smile that will be missed by so many. You were taken away much too soon. My sincere sympathy is with your family at this difficult time. Michael, Linda and Nichole, May all your wonderful memories of this beautiful child and lovely young lady help ease your pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. ~April Clayton and Brian Shane

Linda and Mike,
You don't know me, but I am a very close friend of Leslie and Vince. I know how they both cherished Jenna throughout her life and I would always hear wonderful stories about Jenna and Nicole. I am deeply sorry for the pain and suffering you are enduring and will continue to pray for peace in your hearts for your daughter. God Bless you and your family.
Love you Leslie, Vince, Courtney and Timmy. Call on your DE friends, we are here.

Mike and Linda, it is still so hard to believe this is real. She was an amazing person, funny and good hearted. You guys are family to us in every sense and you know we are all here for anything. Jenna was like my dads third daughter and we are so very sad that someone as wonderful as Jenna had to be taken from our lives. My prayers and thoughts are with you guys at all times. She will truly be an Angel in Heaven!

Love Always!

My condolences to the McGuigan family. I worked with Jenna for two years. She would always sit and talk to me once she punched in for her shift. We often joked, and shared stories. Jenna always spoke of how much she loved her dad. I remember how excited she was about her sister"s wedding. She also loved her special ed students. I last spoke to jenna 1 yr ago. I will never forget her, she will truly be missed. Rest in Peace sweet child. Ana McClendon, LPN

Mike, Linda, Nichole and Chris:

Jenna was such a beautiful young life taken too soon. We always enjoyed seeing Jenna at Leslie and Vince's parties, and will forever remember how she loved all the kids and would chase them around just smilling and laughing the whole time. Praying for God's blessing as you begin the healing process. Look to the sky and Jenna will always be the brightest star shining in the night and watching over her family.

With deepest sympathy,
Rob, Donna, Robbie, Caitlin and Cody

Jenna - it was truly a sad day when God decided he wanted to make you an Angel. You and Nichole are the light of your parents life and I hope you can help them thru this difficult time. The whole Dwyer/McGuigan families will miss you and its unfortunate that we only saw each other during family parties but we are family and we are sad you had to leave us so early. Your career probably touched me the most because I have a special needs child and your love for those children just proves how incredible you were! We love ya hon

Jenna was such a sweet and generous girl--never thought twice about going out of her way for anybody who needed her. Everybody at Moorestown Estates is devastated by the loss of an angel. I had the pleasure of working with her and saw her kindness to everyone she came into contact with. And even after she had to resign to move on to better things, she stopped by so many times to contniue to do good deeds for the people she cared about. We will indeed miss you, Jenna.
