Dear Jen,

You are an amazing person and I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know you. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. You helped me get through some rough times in my life and I greatly appreciate that. If it wasn't for you I might not be the type of person I am today, and for that I feel honored to have known you. You will never be forgotten, for your legacy will live on through the hearts of everyone that you have touched, especially mine. Words can not express how much I will miss you but, at the same time, I know you are up there looking down, watching over everyone you care about.

You will always have a place in my heart Jennifer A. Smith!

I am truly sorry for the loss of Jen. It was truly a blessing to have known her. Throughout our years of school, she has been someone to look up to. She was full of charisma and had an endearing personality. I pray that he family and friends find comfort in the peace that she has found with God. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Jen~

I have always looked up to you, You were a great person inside and out, and will always be. I am going to miss our late night coffee trips to webbs. You were always there for me when i needed someone to vent with about my problems in life, and you always understood where i was coming from, maybe it was because we were going through some of the same stuff. I guess you can say that we were eachothers security blanket. You are going to be greatly missed, but now you are in a better place watching over me guiding me through life.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH JEN!
Your cousin,
Amanda Jo

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this extremely difficult time. One cannot imagine what you are feeling regarding the loss of Jennifer. We have been reminiscing with Ray and Tom about the fun camping trips, the benefits of knowing Jennifer and how awe-struck they seemed whenever in the presence of her beauty; both external and internal. Jennifer's smile and genuine caring will be missed by all. We will cherish the memories and savor the time that we have had with Jennifer. Please know that we are here for you in whatever capacity is necessary to help ease the pain, to share a story or offer a shoulder to lean on. Words alone cannot express our sadness for your loss.

Barb, Jeff and Eric, I can't even begin to know what you are feeling. I am so sorry for the loss of Jennifer. I wish that I had gotten to know her. I think that being so far away and with the busy lives that we all lead, family gets away from us all. It's at times like these we realize what we are missing. Please know that you are in our thoughts.

Jen was someone who I will miss deeply. There wasn't a day that went by without me thinking of her. If I was having a bad day I would think about our goofy talks and her quirky faces she would make and it would instantly put a smile on my face. She was an inspiration to me and many others. Jen will always be in my heart and even though this has taken place her spirit will live on through all of the people she touched.
Love ya hon!

My sincerest sympathies go to your family and friends. May peace find their hearts as peace has found yours.

Thank you for saving my daughter and the lives of her family when their home caught fire one evening. It was so brave of you to break the window, rush up stairs, the house was filled with smoke and you were still able to wake everyone and get all three out of the house!

YOU SAVED my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter that day.

What you did, was an incredible act of bravery and heroism. An act of kindness not seen or given by many. The ability to put others before youself truly brought honor to your life.

Your heart, courage and selflessness will not be forgotten nor will you.

You will remain in our hearts forever.

Warmest,
Mindi Sharbuno
