When we all leave this Earthly world, we cannot take any material possessions, titles or statuses with us. To that end, we are all equal for eternity. However, we all have the opportunity to make an impact and be remembered for how we made people feel. If we do that right, it becomes infectious and spreads and is hopefully paid forward. Jenny accomplished this just by being Jenny. She lived her life down to earth and left this world very humble. However, her lasting legacy should and will be immortal. We should serve her well and honor her life by thinking of Jenny when we can and act in a manner that would be symbolic to the way she would behave. That is an accomplishment few can say they have achieved. To be a true human being and leave the world a better place. RIP Jenny, you lived your life well and by example and will be greatly missed.

Jenny was by far a special person with an incredible smile and personality. I was sad to read that she felt she did not accomplish anything in this life. Having an important job and title does not always mean a person accomplished something in this world. You were a GOOD person Jenny and taken much too young.
You cared about people! You had compassion for others you came in contact with. That is a rare accomplishment which few people have. But you did!! I loved talking with you at my daughter´s home and how much you cared about my grandchildren Alyssa and Nicole Zehner. And asking about my grandsons Corey and Conner Abel. Enjoyed talking about your famous peanut butter cookies and still have your recipe. No more suffering Jenny but finally at peace. Very fortunate to have known you. RIP my friend. You were loved by many!

Jenny was a walking angel. She practically assisted in raising my sister and I growing up till I was 10. She also helped my parents in maintaining the home while they were busy with loads of work. When I think back to the first picture I see in my head of childhood: she is there and one of the first people engraved in my mind. Jenny was an empath at heart and never expect anything in return. It broke me to see that she didn´t feel she accomplished anything, as it means much more to touch peoples lives through personalization and doing the right things than any fortune or title ever can. And that goes to speak by the hundreds of similar testimonies you will hear when asking someone if they knew her, which speaks wonders. Considering the life of service and love Jenny led, it is with no doubt in my mind that I feel she is resting in the kingdom of all kingdoms. I love you Jenny. Next time I go to Bakery Delite, I´ll order some cream cheese horns and chocolate milk for you- Nicoley.

Dear Will, I am Jeff and Marianne's mom and met you and Jenn thru them. I felt it an honor and privilege to meet Jenn and get to know her. Such a wonderful person, your wife. I will always remember her as a shining star, always with a big, wide smile on her, and such a vibrant, happy, energetic woman. She fought such a hard and long battle. I cannot imagine what you are going through but know she is always in your heart. I am so sorry you both had to go through this as she was taken way too soon
Love you both.

Many years ago, I was one of those random people who knew Jennifer because I was a dear friend of her Mom, Barb. Naturally the Irish Mellon family were kind to me and I will forever be grateful for the love Jennifer and her sister and brothers provided their Mom.
I hope Jennifer´s husband, brothers, extended family, and friends find peace in remembering all the joy they shared together.
