Jen worked with our daughter, Sarah, at Tommy Hilfiger, some time ago. When we visited the store, we got a chance to meet Jen. She was a lovely young lady with a wonderful personality. We were glad that they were friends. May God's grace, mercy, peace and loving presence, be with you and your family.
