Dear Galbraith family,

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer, but i know Melissa and Don, and if Jen was anything like her sister, then a wonderful person has passed away. Melissa always had a good word to say about her sister, and she sounds like an intelligent individual who lived life to the full. I am very sorry for your loss.

You are in my prayers. I did not know Jenny, but your daughter, Melissa, is a dear friend of mine. I am truly saddened by your loss and hope that you can find even the smallest bit of peace in your lives.



With love,

To the Galbraith family and all of Jen's relatives and friends,



Please accept my sincere condolences on your recent loss. Jen was talented, beautiful, elegant, smart, and had a wonderful spirit. She touched everyone she came in contact with, even for far away. I will always remember Jen for her kind heart as well as her lovely photographs and her way with words.

This was sad to hear. I went to junior/high school with Jen and she was just so adorable. She was always really nice to everyone. I took my driving test with that crazy girl and it made it so much fun. She was very inspiring and I’ll aways admire her. Jen, I’ll miss you.

Rock Jen, Rock.

Jen was a wonderful person. She always had this little smile on her face that I will always remember. There was never a day when she wasn't sweet to me. I am happy that I was able to know such an amazing sweet person.

Jen-

I never really got the chance to hang out with you, although I did meet you a couple of times. But I just wanted to say that everything I heard about you was always so great. You sounded like such a wonderful person! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Dorice,

I was friends with Jennifer in Jr. High school. She was always a happy, upbeat person always looking for fun. She was liked by everyone and went out of her way to be friends with everyone and make everyone feel welcome. I think that Jennifer will be missed by everyone who knew her.

Dorice,



I don't know if you remember me or not. I worked with you at Signetics. Gordon & Celeste used to live by me. It turns out you worked with my sister, Barbara McReynolds also. I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Our precious children aren't suppose to go before their parents, it's not the natural order of things. If she is half as sweet as you are she will be sorely missed. My prayers are with you and your family.

Words can not express our sadness in hearing about Jennifer and your loss. We wish you all the comfort and peace God can provide.

Jen and I met last fall, and she had a smile to lighten up the room, a mind who could stump Einstein and she was sharp! I loved seeing all her photos, and reading all her online blogs.. she is truly amazing and I hope to be more like her...

Make time to remember all of the good times you shared and may you take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us. What a blessing it was for Jennifer to be part of your family, she was the brilliant, fun loving girl who was the light for so many because of a loving family like yours! With heartfelt condolences.

Jen has such a special spirit. I refuse to use the past tense here, because she still does and always will just as she always will be with us. I've known Jen for years and became the best of friends with her when she attended my Mother's funeral in order to support me. At the time, she barely knew me so the gesture was far beyond any expectation, but a bold one that I will never forget. She took good care of every one around here. She was truly amazing and stunningly beautiful at all times. Her charisma will never be forgotten. She is someone we should all strive to be more like - so strong, so real, so open minded. I miss her and love her.

We were so saddened to hear about Jennifer's untimely death. We are so glad that we got to meet her last year at Don and Melissa's wedding. Jennifer was a beautiul and talented girl and will be missed by many. Our prayers are with the family.

My thoughts are with her family.



The world has lost a great girl who

was going to and had made such a difference.

Kate McPherson

We mourn with you as your family grieves Jennifer's untimely death. Katherine Philips, a mother bereaved in 1668, wrote that her child had "too promising, too great a mind, in so small room to be confined." The same was doubtless true of Jennifer.



Much love,

Kate McPherson, Miranda McPherson and Michael Nagro

My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
