I worked with Jennifer at store 1804 and then again at store 4230. She was a sweet kind loving person. I remember one time her and I were talking and i told her i had never had chocolate from debrands. So when she got off work she went to debrands bought me chocolate and brought it back to me at work to try. That is just one of the many kind things she did. She was a friend and i will miss her dearly.

I worked with Jen off and on at the Appleglen Wal-mart, at the service desk. When I would be sent to help out at the service desk I'd have to ask her how to ring up certain transactions, she was very knowledgeable in that area! Sometimes I would look over at the service desk and see her talking and laughing, her laughter will be missed!

To Tom and Jane, I would not evan being to know your pain. Jennifer was a delight to be around. She was kind, had a big heart and a generous personality.She loved to read and always asking me what I was reading. To Jennifer, family was a big part of life.I remember her coming into the office all smiles because she was cooking dinner or had just gotten flowers for her mom. Ever time I saw her at Wal-Mart, she was always talking about family. My heart goes out to Tom and Jane and the rest of their family. I will keep them in my prayers.
