In Loving Memories of a true Friend

I met Jennifer this past summer when I accompanied her and a longtime friend of hers to a concert. She was a bundle of energy, dancing the night away up in front of the stage. I found her positive outlook, her openness and her drive to be inspirational. She had an ability to openly express herself, enjoyed conversation and kept up the joyful spirit of the night. At the end of the evening I looked forward to the next opportunity to hangout with her. Sad to say that was the first and last time I met Jennifer, she would have been a wonderful person to call my friend.
Peace be with you my friend.

To Ginger, and to all the rest of the family as well. I am so very sorry for your loss of Jennifer. Even though I had not seen or spoken to Jen in a really long time I remember hanging out with her when I was much younger and thinking how cool and sweet she was. I enjoyed all the time that I spent with you and all of the rest of your loved ones over the years. It is never easy to know what to say in difficult times like these, it never makes sense. Please know you are all in my thoughts and I am sending hugs to you and everyoine else. Please take care.

Dear Ginny and family:

I was very happy to know Jennifer. She always had a smile and a wonderful outlook on life. More people should be like her.

My sincere sympathy goes to your family. She will be missed, but is at peace now and we do not need to worry or see her suffer any more.

Having known Jennifer since she was a child was a blessing. Always so positive, determined, independent and just wonderful to be around. I will miss her greatly and remember all of the good times we once shared.

Jennifer's illness brought us back together from childhood. She was extremely brave and courageous throughout her ordeal. I am so proud she was part of our family, and to have my children come to know her well. We plan to plant a garden (our first) in her honor this Spring. I hope she will guide us from heaven. May her love and peace shine upon you.

I am sorry that she died. She came to my 6th birthday party. She said she was like me when she was a kid. She meant my energy. I know her love is around us all. I miss her and will pray for her at King's Chapel this Sunday. I am like her- because I like dogs too.

Jennifer was my first cousin once removed. I came to know her through her cancer battle. I prayed for her and think she was very brave. I think I am a little like my cousin Jennifer, because I like yoga and writing poetry too. I am glad she doesn't have to suffer through cancer anymore.

To Jen's Family: Please accept my deepest sorrows. Jen and I were great friends through junior high & high school. We shared the same birthday and initial of our last names, so we were always in the same room. We lost touch soon after when I moved to Florida.
