"My sincere condolences on the loss of dear Jennifer. She was indeed a special person! Though the pain is intense when we lose someone special, God's promises give us hope. God promises a future with no more pain, suffering, sickness, nor death (Revelation 21:3,4). He also will reunite families with those they have lost (Acts 24:15). The website www.jw.org is helping millions find satisfying answers to questions they have. I hope you will examine it and enjoy it. Again, I am very sorry for your loss."
"With Deepest sympathies to the Healey and Berry families. From the Sniegocki(Kelsh) Family from Louisville, KY."
"My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy over the loss of Jennifer. May you find comfort in your loving memories and the warmth of family and friends. A scripture that has uplifted me during times such as this is found at Revelation 21:4. There it describes a time when death and pain will be gone forever after God restores his original purpose for the earth. We will even see our loved ones again who we have lost in death (John 5:28 & 29). It is our hope that these words bring you a measure of comfort during this difficult time as well. Once again, please accept our condolences as you deal with your loss. "
"Jen was the ultimate definition of a friend. She could light up a room, just the very instant she walked in. She could turn a bad day into good. She always brought out the best in everyone and she was loved by everyone she touched. Her smile and laugh were amazing and I'm blessed to have had her in my life. She is now free from pain, and God has new roles for her to tackle. Her children will carry the torch and continue to shine for her. Prayers to Daryl, Tay, and Grace. "
"I will miss that beautiful smile and laugh. One thing Jen wanted was children and she accomplished that twice she was a great mom and friend.

May you soar in the heavens above with the great Jesus Christ. Rest in peace my dear friend till we meet again. "

Even in the last couple of weeks she was thoughtful enough to contact me about something she felt i would benefit from. I like many others am glad the battle of pain is over but selfishly will miss her. She leaves a great legacy with the two kids she has raised thus far. My condolences to her husband, her children and her parents and other family. "
