I've known Jena since the third grade and we had remained friends throughout the years. She always made me laugh and I will miss her so much. Brilliant sweet person, always helpful to everyone and truly unique. So many thoughts go to Terry, Dana and Eden and all her sweet grandchildren

I am so sorry to hear this. My sympathy to Terry and family. She is dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

Never met Jena in person.Friends with her mom and was shown pictures of her and the family many times. She was a joy to her mother and so excited when she talked about her. Unnatural to loose a child but this does happen sadly. Hope I can be of help to Myrtle and the lonely days ahead of her and the family. Myrtle is a good friend and Jena would have been also if I had the chance to meet her. Love to all and Myrtle. Stella Vinson Cookeville tn.
