Jennifer and Jeff were sealed to one another in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity, on April 11, 1996. Their marriage is an enduring example of the power of love, faith, and commitment to one another.

Jen loved to shop, but never for herself. She enjoyed baking, especially with her granddaughter. She loved the Red Sox and going to see baseball games with her brothers. She loved animals and had a very special dog named Harley. She loved anything to do with frogs. She loved to plant flowers in the spring.

She had an amazing laugh that everyone loved. She would laugh so hard she would wheeze. She had the remarkable ability to laugh at life’s most difficult challenges and find humor in small and simple ways. Jennifer knew that we were to experience joy in life, so she sought out laughter and smiles relentlessly.
