JENNIFER,

YOU WILL BE SO MISSED, YOU WERE LOVED BY SO MANY, YOU WERE EVERYTHING A PERSON WOULD WANT TO BE. YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT, YOU HAD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE, AND GIRL YOUR PERSONALITY WAS BIGGER THAN LIFE, YOUR ATHLETIC ABILITIES WERE INCREDIBLE, AND I KNOW WE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO ALL THE GAMES, BUT THOSE I WAS ABLE TO MAKE WERE THE MOST ENJOYABLE EVENINGS I HAVE HAD IN MANY YEARS.



THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, I KNOW YOUR MEMORY WILL BE STRONG.



LOVE YOU BABY! GOD BLESS!

Jenn was a pleasure in and out of the classroom, she was quick to smile and offer a kind word. That kind of beauty will be missed.
