"It saddens me deeply that I lost more than a sister in-law, I lost a sister. We shared so many memories over the last 27 years. Jen, you?re such a kind and caring soul, never wavering from a strong love of family and friends. I have such a deep admiration for you, no matter of the circumstance you were always supportive and never judging. Every time I see a dragonfly I will remember you. It?s comforting knowing you now have your own set of wings in a place where you will always have internal peace, and where the love far exceeds anything on earth. Jen, I appreciate you and love you so much. You will be dearly missed. Rest In Peace. John"

"Jennifer touched many lives in her short time on this earth. She used her gifts to help others when they needed help. But God has other plans for Jennifer and though it's difficult for her loved ones to understand why she was taken too soon, l know God has his reasons for calling her home. My heart aches for all of you as you deal with your emotions but in the midst of the darkness my prayer is that Jennifer's light will shine through as you gather and share memories of happy times and will rejoice in the knowledge that one day you will be reunited with her. Until then I will be there to help celebrate Jennifer's life. Love and God bless you all."
