Rest In Peace dear friend! I love you!

I used to walk to Edison every day with Jennifer. She was a good friend. I moved away and lost touch with her. I'm sad to hear of her death.

Saddened to hear of Jennifer's passing. A truly fun, caring, and gentle soul with an adorable giggle.. She will be missed but I'm blessed to have fond memories of her.

So sorry to hear about the passing of whom I always considered as my first girlfriend. (Don't know if she considered me a boyfriend, as we only had less than a month in a relationship.) Sending my deepest sympathy to her husband and girls... oh, and her grandson, too.

I was very sorry to hear of Jenny's passing, I sat behind her in so many classes and we have talking when we weren't supposed too. What a sweet soul, my condolences to her husband and daughters, a beautiful light has gone out.
