I was a childhood friend of Jennifer's from North Berwick. My mom told me of her passing. My heart is heavy for your family. I have fond childhood memories of her, and playing at your home and in the barn. I also remember swinging in the hammock with her on warm days after school. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
