    Words are just not enough, but all we have. I am so sorry for your loss. Jen was the kind of person that touched the heart, many hearts. I am so glad I got a chance to see her at work just before her passing. As always, there was the smile that reached her eyes, that kind of smile that made you smile. As usual she asked how things were going, always caring, always full of compassion. Just some of the things I will never forget about her.

    Jennifers Family, she was one of the most genuinely kind, gracious and loving souls you would ever have been lucky enough to meet…I was lucky enough to call her my friend through those tough growing up elementary thru high school years. We reconnected thru FB, a simple hello and a chat but you can sense her smile and it made me feel better !!! Heaven gained an Angel. My heart just aches, I know shes up there and has already picked out the most beautiful horse already. Much love and prayers to you all. Ginger Bayne
