6 years too long. I miss you so bad

Cindy Marshall

June 9, 2024

Jennifer:

It´s been 5 years, 6 months, and 8 days since we lost you. As I sit here and write that, it seems so unreal. When we first lost you, I didn´t know how I was going to get through that first night, much less 5½ years! I remember being in shock, telling myself to be strong for Kaiden, Sara, your dad, Lori Beth, BJ, and the rest of the family. I never thought about myself and how I was going to make it. I didn´t know how to do anything but put on a brave face for everyone else. I remember that first week, going to and calling the funeral home multiple times a day in what I saw as the last time I could actually do something for you personally as your mom. I had to make sure I gave you an amazing goodbye. But looking back, maybe it was more for me than you. Maybe I needed that closure for me. I remember going to Christmas, your birthday, and moving forward - and all I could think of was the song: Tears of a Clown. That is exactly how I felt, screaming and crying on the inside and putting on a smile for the world. It took me about 4 years to realize that I was still in shock from your death. I´m not sure I ever totally got through the shocking part of losing you. I don´t believe I ever will. I know I will never be over losing you.

As you are aware, life does move forward no matter what. Both Kaiden and Sara have now graduated from high school. Kaiden is now living with your dad and me. Holding down a full-time job. Sara is planning on going to ULL. You would be so proud of them both. They are both growing into adulthood and are handling adulting well. You did a wonderful job with them both. Keep on watching over them for above.

Life has changed so much since you left. Death changes people. People look at me and don´t see my feelings, they think I´m okay, I´m strong, I´m moving forward, but I don´t see that. I have lived a life of grief, trauma, shock, depression, guilt, and even suicide ideation. I know people that say when you lose someone, it makes you realize different things about life. What your loss has done to me is make me realize that life is too short to live anyway but peacefully. I value peace in life more than anything now. Your death and this grief journey has taught me that.

I´m sorry if I got too deep in this one, but I have been in my feelings about your death for 5 years, 6 months, and 8 days now. I know we will see each other again one day.

Love and miss you with my whole being.

~ Mom

That time of the year is coming up again soon. God, what I wouldn't give to have this all be a dream. You would be surprised, and in some cases not, how much things have changed since you have been gone. How much I have changed since you left. I love you. I miss your beautiful face. M.S.K.

It is still ... weird ... to think you are gone, have an obituary and I cant hear your voice. Never a feeling that is going to sit right. I miss you

Life has been very hard and difficult these past three years. I would love to tell you how happy and overjoyed life has been for me, but I cannot. Is there happiness in my life, of course. Is there joy in my life, of course. But always with that happiness and joy, there is always the sadness and pain of losing you. That never changes. That sadness and pain is with me all day, every day. But even with that sadness and pain, I am so very blessed to have had you as my daughter and friend. I miss every ounce of you. I miss your face, your smile, your wit, your wisdom, your laugh, your positive outlook. I just miss you!!! I did write you and tell you all about Kaiden and Sara and how they are doing. They miss you something fierce!!! You never had a clue of how much you would be missed and how much you are loved!!! I love you and miss you always.

Sunday is your birthday. Doesn't seem the same. No cake. No singing. No laughing. No you. This is not how life is supposed to be. This is not what I visioned for us. This is not how I want life to be..... to exist in this world without you. I miss you deeply. I love you completely. I'm never going to be the same without you.

You cannot imagine how much pain we are still in. The amount of energy it takes me to do my best for everyone else. Today two years ago was the last time I saw your face. It wasnt the same face I had always seen. It was much different. Hurt more. I miss you beyond understanding. I love you more than cookie monster sister.

It’s been two long hard years since losing you. I sit and reflect on how unfair life is. I sit and reflect at how ignorant I was to suicide and loss. I sit and know how your life changed me for the better and your death changed me for the worse. I know you would want me to be happy and move forward, but all I end up doing is feel my sadness and heartbreak from losing you; feel how unfair life is without you being in this world to share your heart and soul; feel like I failed you. You were such a shining light in this dark world and now I cannot find my way. I love you and miss you always. ~Mom.

You are missed beyond what you could have ever imagined. Your light, your strength, your wisdom, your laughter, your love... it is unbelievably missed. I, as well as others, think about you every single day. No one knows how to heal this pain but often I imagine it is you who is comforting our souls as we walk through this life, that it is you that fills us with any amount of strength to get through each day. I imagine this because we know thats the type of woman you are. I love you so very much.

So often I come here to see you, see what anyone else has said to you recently and see the time in our lives when we were all happy and joyful. Those times have past, harsh and hard, for us. Mom hurts often, Dad hide it, and Bj and I do our best to .... get through it all. Sharp, Quick, Harsh and Painful. A few words to describe the world we live in now. The kids miss you. I miss you. I just want you to come back. The things I have to rely on because Im scared to death Ill forget your voice. I lost so much more than you, I lost me. I will forever be My Sisters keeper. I love you so much more than you ever understood. I always will.

Wishing I could get this back

Its been so long since I heard you or seen you, yet I constantly feel like I can just pick up the phone and call, but I cant. Still doesn't feel real.. or right.... or believable. The longer time goes on, the more I hurt and feel this pain. I wish this was a nightmare I could wake up from, but it is a nightmare I live instead. I love you so much Jennifer, Forever and Always, To Infinity and Beyond... More than Cookie Monster..... I will always be right here by your side. My Ride or Die.... Always!

Jennifer:
I come look at and read your obituary weekly and I still don't believe it's true. I finally contacted them and had them change the candle picture to your beautiful picture. Yesterday was 15 months since you have been gone and it still feels like a nightmare I have to relive every single day. I don't believe I will ever recover from your loss. I wish I could come on this message board and just write how life is going and how everyone is doing since you have been gone, but once I get here, I can only think about how much I miss you! How much my life has changed since you have been gone. How much of me you took with you that faithful day. I love you, baby girl. I miss you with everything in me. ~Mom

Jenn,,,, I just found out this on New Year's night, and I am devastated.....Why couldn't i have known this way sooner?? It breaks my heart I was not able to attend your funeral, I wanted to show my last respects to you, and be there for the kids. I would do anything to see them again if possible, but I will figure out a way somehow, so they know that I'm always going to be here if they need me. Letting them know I'm just a phone call away... Jennifer, you and I I spent so many aWeSoMe years as friends I can't even begin to count them all. We've had so many good times together girl, I will miss you deeply... I hope you're going to constantly be watching down over all of us and what I would give to hug you once more! Just know you will be my girl forever, eternally and your impression on my life and my son's life will never be forgotten, and your personality,, I will here your voice in my head forever! Sisters forever mama, my road dog, my best friend, sister from another mother, and another Mama figure to my kiddo too!!FLY HIGH MAMA!! No more struggle.. No more pain. See you again someday girl. Rest peacefully

My beautiful Jennifer. I looked up to her as a child and even as a teenager. Thats just how cool and admirable she was. As an adult, Ive always admired her strength through struggles and how well she nurtured and loved her children. Forever I will cherish the memories of sleep overs, choreographing moves as we jumped into the pool, our first N*Sync concert, sock hops, every holiday, rides to work, having deep conversations especially the most recent ones. She has always been and will forever be my girl, my beautiful cousin. ❤

My baby sister. Words can not explain how much I love you. This kills us every single day. I will never let your light die. I will never let anyone forget your name. My ace, My A-1 since day one, my best friend, My Ride or Die sister, just like we always said. I love you Jennifer. To the moon and beyond, forever.

Jennifer was one of my closest friends junior and senior year at EJ. I have so many great memories of her singing in my car and laughing together on the drive to school/home. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and an actual sparkle in her eyes. I wish we had kept in better touch after high-school. I am grateful to have known her friendship. My heart is broken for Jennifer's family. My deepest sympathies.

a loved one
