My Dearest Friend: I have known you for so very long, we go back to when Jennifer was very young. Together we saw both o of our families grow, we shared much happiness, sad moments, tons of laughter and a special bond no one will ever know. I always looked forward to your visits and hated when it was time for you to leave. The laugher is now silent but the wonderful memories will carry on. Your daughter is FINE young women and will greatly represent your legacy. I will keep Jennifer close to me always. Love Donna

Jennifer,
Your mom was a gift to me, she was loving and kind. When I first started working at Q&B. We shared many stories about life and boy did I have her laughing with the stories of my children. I learned so much from her, things I will use with my children. I thank God for bringing her into my life. Wendy~

Maxine, Susie and I played together as children. My family lived just down the street from their house. I am so glad that we were able to still be friends as adults. Maxine called me before she died and we had a long, long, talk and a good cry as she knew she did not have long to live. She is with her dad, mom and sister now. She was a very bright woman who enjoyed a rewarding career. She was also a real knockout, just like her mom, when she was young. My sympathy to her daughter Jennifer and to Bob. You should be very proud of her. She was extremely strong in her battle against cancer. Maxine's cousin, Elvina Schmidt

As a friend at WTMC, you showed great courage in your battle with cancer. I learned a lot from you, not so much from what you said but by your example and outward friendly demeanor that reflected your inner self. My condolences to your family and may your soul rest in peace. Mark
