"Our love and prayers go to all those who loved Jennifer. What a loss to everyone. We have not met Julie and her children in the past; but have seen Ursula and Clinton many times. As a grandparent, our prayers especially go to you as you have not only lost Jennifer, who was such a sweet girl with so much potential and dreams, but you have had to see Julie and Garrett and Ryan go through so much pain and hurt. You have been there for them, but the pain seems twice as bad as a grandparent. Our prayers are with you in a special understanding way. Ursula and Clinton were there for Rhona,Justin, and Steffi, when our son, Mark was so ill, and God bless you for that. We love you all."

Life will not be the same without her, but I'm so thankful you have Christ to turn to in your time of need. What would we do without him? We are praying for you, dear friends.

"To all of the Poli family I am so saddened by hearing of your loss. I remember Jennifer when her and my daughter Samantha were going to Des Moines on the weekends for Barbazon classes. Samantha adored her and spoke highly of her. We moved back to Illinois and what I remember most about Jennifer was how bubbly she always was when I saw her. Looking at the Facebook page I remember the photo shoots and seeing her pictures...what a beautiful young lady! Hang on to those beautiful memories and cherish them...she is looking over all of you I'm sure. "

"I was very shocked and saddened to read about Jennifer's death. I had her as a student (in Accounting) last semester at DMACC and enjoyed getting to know her. She was so full of life and her beautiful smile brought a ray of sunshine to class everyday. She was well-liked by all the other students. I just sent her an email Thursday inviting her to participate as a representative of the Newton Campus at a "Welcome Table" for new students. I am very sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers."
