To my best friend and my sister I miss you dearly. I still can't believe you are
gone so soon. So many talks and moments still yet to share. I want to say thank
you for being a true friend to me. Thank you for your wisdom and thank you for
your strength. Thank you for the laughs and thank you for sharing your
sisterhood with me. You allowed me to be myself and gave me loyalty, two gifts
that mean so much. I grew up without sisters and brothers but when I meet you
and Shaggy I knew I had found a kindred spirit. You were a amazing wife, mother,
daughter, sister and friend! Words can not express how much I miss you. It feels
like a piece of me has left, but I know God knows best. You were an angel on
earth and now I know you and Shaggy are free to soar. But I still shed tears for
what we have all lost.. I thank God for blessing me to have had you in my life.
We understood each other and we knew we were there for one another. That's a
special find so thank you God for "my Scooby". Kiss my momma for me. Love you
much Scooby! God bless you and Shaggy! You will forever live in our hearts! God keep and bless the Wise-Johnson family and God help and bless us all.

Jenn Jenn...how I miss you. I cant even type the words to tell you how much I loved you. I can't rap my mind around it so you know what I have been doing just running around like crazy. I can here you saying "sit down somewhere maam". Lol. My heart is so broken that I cant even gather up the emotions to confront it. I know that you and Mag are in heaven having an amazing time. I told you all the time that I loved you and that you were a great sister in law. I know you fussed at me at Christmas about opening up and I'd plan to call you the night you passed to tell you something. Guess it was meant for me to tell you in the sky. Please help me to remember everything you and Mag wanted for MawMaw. Don't let me forget...just like you said I'd stay on you about the preschool thing. Stay on me about making sure I do all I need to do to encourage and support her and be there to help her conquer all of her dreams and the dreams you had for her. "I love you lady...and I always will." Please visit me in my dreams and encourage Mag and Ma to do the same. I know we talked about how it bothered me for me not to have had any. I'm ready...I promise. Love you Jenn-Jenn

There are so many words that I want to say. There are so many thoughts that run through my mind. Your brother loved you, Ms. Sharon and Tiff with every fiber in him. Because he loved you guys the way a son/ brother should love his mother/sisiters, he is an exceptional husband. I miss your smile, our talks, our laughs, our prayers, our bible study, and our family moments. God truly blessed me with a wonderful, beautiful, and intelligent sister-in-law. It was an honor for you to call me your big Sis. I know God can be complicated and He must have needed you more than us. However, I miss you chic! Your brother miss you. I know through God this too shall pass, but it hurts today. Rest my beautiful angel!!!!!! Please keep watching over your brother, mother, sister, and all of us. Send us your kisses.....Love you, Dawn

To the Littles, Wise and Johnson families,

May you all find strength and encouragement in Him to make it thru the lost of your loved one, Jenny.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe."

John 14:27-29 ESV
God bless you all, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Rest on beautiful angel. I can still hear your voice from those late night talks when we were in college. You were always nurturing, telling me not what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. You are the woman I strive to be. The love that you shared with Magic is the love that people go their whole lives longing for. From this moment on, I will honor you by living a life that will make you proud. I love you and I know that I have a angel in heaven.......
